how long has external been?


What ducks do in there is they will enlarge that hole as they spin, they dont turn quite like a chick inside, and the spinning actually helps cut off blood supply down at their umbilicus. that's why its such a hard call with ducks, they could have no more blood in the membranes but still not have absorbed all the sack.

mine were well over 48 hours external What is humidity?

Wrapping a bator for steadier temps post #25454
HEAT SINKS/ Stones/Pebbles ADD THEM TO STYRO! post #43903




they are hard because people run too low and they tend to really loose weight at the end of incubation and it cant be gained back at the end, as I said earlier

Serama have been one of our Breeding Flocks for years now, we have hatched and shipped very many.

Your chickens are so beautiful! btw, I'm a she not he. thanks for all your help
