I ended up with 6 live chicks!!!! The other eggs had chicks in them but did not pip or hatch/...bummer... First time incubating this kind of egg. I am thrilled with 6 though and I just put 14 more serama eggs under some broody OE hens. I want to see if my % will be better under the girls rather than an incubator!

I love it when lots of little Seramas hatch. Such a nice breed!

I am a little bit into Day 19 and only have one pip - I cannot see any movement in the others (5 others). Someone please reassure me that they are ok.

I am really wanting these guys to hatch.

don't be in a hurry, just because you get an early one don't give up on the rest

Oh, nooooo! Heck, if these guys do not hatch even by day 25, I will prolly still be peeking into the 'bator every 10 minutes - they will get every opportunity to come out.

Just wish it was happening right now!
