Can't make out what you wrote, Seth.  All I can see is "I'm.....Turken"   What's the problem?

How many days do you all wait between hatches? If this one is done by Monday, when would you set again? I don't want to hold myself up for the Easter HAL!

@Sally Sunshine- is the 911 section on the first page? I'm looking now- just squeezing checking in between chores and running kids around!

thank you for doing the eggtopsys, humidity was too high.  here is a read for you...  also wondering do you do a cooling spraying on them during incubation?

CHICKS Wet? Sticky? Stuck? Yellow Gel? What did I do Wrong? post #25379

I did the misting with this batch, but not as regularly as I should have. From my understand that raises the humidity even more though.

I need to read up on this subject. What does Metzer Farms do?

@Sally Sunshine my rooster is a whopping 1lb 7oz and the hens are just over 1lb. I broke out the kitchen scale lol.

Ok so how do u tell males from females when u look at them

the serama?

males have much larger combs and wattles

two white cockerels with large combs and the others pullets white in middle pullet
note saddle feathering? and tail feathers?

at 2-3 months you will see the long and pointed hackle feathers developing on the males.

• The cockerels will start to develop combs at around 1 1/2 months in most breeds. It will start to redden in the males; the females will still be yellow.

I have no idea. I misted and cooled religiously with my first attempt, but didn't have any luck. Now I'm worried about humidity getting too high.
