I can't tell roo from hen until they grow streamers.  I'm talking about the parents.  All the eggs I have set are from the 5 adults that I have.  

Oh, okay. I thought maybe you had discovered some ancient secret method for sexing day old silkies!
All the breeders and silkie owners I know drive themselves nuts trying to decipher a sign or signal for sexing.

Humidity will rise as they pip. The shells are porous, and they are starting to absorb and dry from internal pip to hatch, so yes, normal.
And no question is stupid except the one you don't ask!

So that means they should pip soon or have started to?

Congrats on setting the eggs. And welcome to the thread! We must warn you though, setting eggs can and probably will become very addicting. If you are unfamiliar with chicken math, you will learn it very quickly!

Outen the lights on your way out the door.

What day are you on again? I remember seeing it in a post earlier, but my brain is foggy at the moment.

They are serama eggs on day 19. Serama eggs are supposed to hatch on the 19th day though I don't think most do.
