Is Something Wrong With My Serama Eggs?

[PippinTheChicken]

What time did you set them (morning, afternoon, evening?)

 

[nickkaylee]

I believe it was in the evening or later afternoon. But I thought seramas usually hatched in 19 days.

Sometimes smaller eggs hatch sooner but that's not always the case. Good luck, hope you get plenty of tiny chickies

So how many days past 19 should I wait until I give up? And when should I candle them again?

Wait until day 24/25

 

[nickkaylee]

Should I just leave them alone from now til day 25? Or do I candle them again sometime in between?

Leave them. If they aren't out by day 25, you can candle or just crack them open

I know some say that if they internally pip but don't externally pip than you should help them by making a small hole.

 

[nickkaylee]

I'm just worried that if I leave them and they internally pip and then can't get out they will die when I could have helped them. I looked at 2 again last night, and they were still alive and still had veins but the egg was pretty full and no internal pips.

Before you hatch again, get one of these:
I bought one and never looked back.

I used to go to great lengths screwing around with testing therms:
