~MALAYSIAN SERAMA THREAD~ (PICS!!!)

[Bunnylady]

If you heard peeping, you know they have pipped internally, anyhow. Oh, the suspense!

No, but I had to add more water to the Brinsea and when I shut the lid back quickly I heard peeping!

I'm kind of worried that they haven't pipped yet...do you think the shells are really hard?

They will be ok. Nothing you can/or should do at this point but wait! I have stopped expecting them on day 18. Much better to just be surprised than endure all this waiting!

Hang on...your getting close...

I just hatched out 3 more little bitty Serama chicks!!!!

I will try to post some pics when I get some. Also 8 Japanese. The Seramas are so hard to hatch!! I was getting nervous that they were going to die in the egg like my last one did, so I manually pipped them. 3 came out o.k. and 2 died...

This is my 3rd hatch. The first ones were the easiest, but also the biggest eggs. I hope someday I will get this down.

as far as C AND D'S go Cull hard that is easy. the going to see the birds there is hardly anyone here that breeds them LOL all the way across the state is one and one other guy is kina close 1 hr away LOL sometimes eggs are your best option

I second this...it's hard to always go and see birds at a breeder, plus I really think it depends on what you want Seramas for. I don't raise them for show so I love my C and D birds. Any chicks that I sell are sold as pet quality for people like me who enjoy the breed. I am not trying to perfect the breed, just get a nice small flock for my personal enjoyment.

why buy low grade and cull and go to all that trouble i would like to better the breed, then sell Cs and Ds i breed for standard and color not low grade

Yay! Now it will be even harder to wait!

Sometimes they will pip and zip fairly quickly (less than an hour) others take FOREVER (12 hours or more)! Now you can watch for more cracks in the egg that go around like a little zipper. I had one chick that was so good at the process, I could have sworn he had a little power saw in there.

Others can be a bit slow. Give them time, hatching is exhausting work!

Make a new pot of coffe or tea. It's gonna be a long night.

You are free to do as you want just like all the rest of us.

Please let's not start an argument and ruin this very nice long thread with all the great pictures and information that it contains.

Why don't you just share some pictures of your Serama with us?​
