Yes, hens can tell it's getting close to hatch, after all, the eggs have been against their tummies (and hearts!) for nearly 3 weeks. They talk to the eggs more and tend not to get up at all for the last three days, and they move the eggs much less. Really. The less they get up, the less the humidity from their own bodies dissipates.

The feed store just called.....they have more chicks and just wanted to let me know.

Really!?! Talk about enablers.

I have hatched 10 Serama out of 47 eggs, from 2 different sellers. I have heard around here that Seramas are hard to hatch from shipped eggs. I also have a quad of larger Seramas and hatch about half in the incubator and 80-100% under a broody.

So I doubt its you. I will see movement when I candle before lockdown....then nothing .

Seramas are hard to hatch period, I've had several quitters with my own eggs. They do much better if you give them to a broody hen, I don't know what the big difference is but my 2 serama broodies haven't had any quitters and one should be hatching any day now.
ETA: I now give all serama eggs to a broody regardless of how long she's been broody. I figure even if she sets them a week that will give them a better chance

I had 2 little serama babies hatch today, thought one was a quail at first. Little stinkers are so tiny

So the current hatch is 9 of 10 coturnix (don't know if the other will hatch or not) and I think we took 6 chicken chicks out (1 BCM, 1 EE, 1 cochin bantam, 1 silkie, 2 serama). There are other chickens in there and the stinking pheasants (with no pips

) still, but it's early.
