from Alabama. You're right, Seramas really are harder to hatch. My first try with them was a 0% hatch rate; the second try was 3 out of 18 (& we ended up losing one of those within 24 hrs). They also tend to hatch earlier than other breeds; all 3 of mine pipped on day 18 & were playing soccer with the other eggs by the time day 19 started. Even with all of that, though, they're definately worth it. Good luck & hope you have a great hatch
