What fancy bator?? I can only get up for 20 minutes a day for the next 21 days.

i have read that serama take 19 days, as opposed to 21 to incubate . . .
hmmmm.
the serama is actually a silkie serama/modern game X so that should be interesting (i've seen pics of this cross and they are pretty cute - a more medium leg and a lot less "gamey" looking than the moderns.)
i have two of those developing in my bator right now.
i don't know if H23 is going to incubate the crosses (there's also a silkie, buttercup X) i just threw them in because they were laid during the same time frame.

(and to tiff: my modern game hen has started to lay a bit but they are really tiny little pullet eggs at this time . . . probably no good yet. wish i had some eggs to send you tho!)

I always wondered about this. Would writing with a fine tip marker ruin an egg?

They'll be little girl chicks for sure after THAT trip - if any DON'T hatch - those were ROO's!

My opinion for what it is worth(nothing) is no, the EXPERTS will tell you that ink will do damage, but before the hatching gods decided that you had to turn eggs 47.25 times a day you only turned them to X or O in morning and at night, and the O's and X's were put on with the wide permenant black marker, and we had good hatches so.... modern technology ya gotta love it.
