Surprise Serama! Have you had late hatches?

[Delilahducks]

Well what do you know!

I'm glad I kept those two Serama eggs in the incubator (I forgot about them) - I just came out to clean it out for the next batch of Serama & d'Uccles and we have two babies in here!
Looks like they mustve hatched last night (day 23ish).

I guess this means I wait another 24hrs before cleaning out

Anybody else have late Serama hatches like this? This is the first time for me - they usually hatch around day 19.

Sometimes the incubator temperature is a factor. Slightly lower temps lead to slightly longer incubation period. Also,,, eggs may have been in a slightly cooler portion of incubator, than the rest.

WISHING YOU BEST,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and

That must be it! This is a new incubator and my first time using it. It seems to struggle a bit keeping the temp up so I have to check it regularly (Its the Little Giant Air Circulated Incubator), and these two were in the far right corner.
Wobbles between 36.8 and 37.2. With this next batch I'll keep the eggs in a bit longer if they don't hatch just to make sure! Thank you!!!
