Serama Hatch-A-Long!!

Do not give up. This is a learning curve. Try again. Other people do it who are a lot dumber than you are so you know you can do it too.

Perhaps I missed the context for this. Dumber than who??

My silkied Serama eggs are fertile, well, the couple I checked are!

Ok this is trial 2... I have 10 eggs from @TJChickens and they are in the incubator and I'm doing a dry hatch and the temperature is stable. Last time I used an automatic turner and now I am hand turning (well a hand turning contraption I created). I'm going to candle on day 10, which is tomorrow. SEND UP PRAYERS

Thinking good thoughts for you! I hope they all do well!

I have 20 or so Serama eggs that should hatch in a few days. A bunch of silkied and frizzle Seramas and surely some straight feather too.

Alright I just candled... out of 10 we have... 4 quiters... 4 going beautifully strong... and 2 undeveloped... I forgot that I am going out of town this weekend so I have to ask someone to turn the eggs for me... i don't know if I should switch to the automatic for the few days while I am gone... either way it looks like we will have at least 1 baby by hatch day

some is better than none!

turning is more important prior to day 14, after that, not so much. Got luck!!

I'm going out of town tomorrow... I'm on day 11 or 12 ... I guess I can put them in the automatic while I am gone... although the hand turning has been way more effecient... what say you?

Tough one. I think it would be ok to not turn them for a couple days, but I also hate to say for sure lol! (sorry, I have a pet-peeve here about "bad" advice)
But.... if it were me.... I'd probably not bother moving them to the turner.
