Serama Hatchalong pt 2!

[tlcmurphy]

Candled them one final time. All clears. I swear next time I will just wait for development and then tag for hatchalong. This is super sucky you guys.

It’s not your fault, I’m certain it’s because they were stuck on the mail

Don’t give up, Elfen. Seramas are definitely worth it. Once you have your first successful hatch (and they grow into beautiful tiny hens and roosters), you can let your hens do the incubating. My experience has shown me that they’re excellent broodies. My problem with that is usually having several going broody at the same time! I hope you have the same problem later this year.

@ElfenLied89 I am so sorry about all the clears. Disappointing for sure, but shipping can be brutal on eggs.

Yeah. Sucks that 6/6 didn't develop. First time seeing a 0% hatch rate. Even the last 7 had 2 make it to lockdown and 1 hatched.

Hatching is a gamble, I used to order eggs from Murray McMurray, some hatch rates were fair, others were horrible. 21 days is a long time to wait to be disappointed, I know.

Well the big eggs I have, out of 12 we have 5 left so fingers crossed.

Remember my first hatch was....18 in lockdown? And 14 hatched I think? Something like that. That was fun. If only I was a hatchery. I could hatch babies all the time!

That would be a great job! Until I got fired for leaving work with a backpack stuffed with floofs

Not if YOUR home was the hatchery?!

I'd fire myself for over hatching without buyers

One of my chicks was headless this morning. No idea what got in. Body wasn't near the edge so the baby didn't pop its head through somehow.
