~MALAYSIAN SERAMA THREAD~ (PICS!!!)

[Larkspur88]

Hey I have a birthday coming up in like 2 weeks. Anyone have some pullets for sale? For a reasonable price? I have two boys that will be starting to feel some oath soon and may need a second girl for each of them so they don't bug the ones their with now to death. Boys...

XD

I'm pretty much the same way....except for the turning...unless I have a staggered hatch. If I don't, then I just stop turning on Day 18. Interesting about the humidity though. What do you incubate at? I used the air sac development method this last time and it worked really well.

The Genesis 1588 is preset for temperature, so I never even check it. The room is maintained near 72 degrees. I keep water in the 2 outside troughs and the vents wide open....that usually runs 50-60% (probably closer to 60%?).

You do have to check the 1588, just because it is preset does not mean it is right. Mine ran about 1 to 1 1/2 degrees low when I first got it and I had to adjust it, now it's running about 1/2 degree high.

Agreed. I had to do the reset on all three of mine when I got them, but once they were set they were set.

I never 'lockdown'....I open the incubator everyday to hand turn eggs, add eggs or water or take out chicks...I incubate and hatch in the same incubator and don't change humidity...I have 2 Genesis 1588 going non-stop and have hatched about 200 Serama this year....but that's just me....

Junebug, I want to come work for you! Man I would be in heaven with all those fuzzy-butts!

I did check them in the beginning. I've been running both these incubators for 2 years non-stop (stopping only long enough to clean once in a while)...chicks keep hatching...I don't think I'll change anything. I do have a spare incubator in storage...I do expect one of these incubators to die eventually...???

OH, NO!!! NOT ANOTHER MOUTH TO FEED!!

Also....the incubators keep check on each other....if I have eggs in both incubators due to hatch on the same day, and one incubator hatches earlier or later, I would know to check them.

How do you get your seramas to stay still why trying to work with him on a pose mat?

Any serama breeders close to Georgetown Kentucky? My hubby is going to be there this weekend. So if anyone in the area has any for sale I might be interested!
