The tiny serama; a Hatching adventure

[Sally PB]

Come on Carole/King! It's Going to Take Some Time, but You've Got A Friend.

Thank you . I've been monitoring the temps, they have not changed for more than 0.3C°, I'd like to say. Don't know if that would be enough. Genetics could be it, since only Lady Gaga is "tested"

I did some research and this was also mentioned here on BYC too, so I found this on line...

I remember reading it back in the day, but wasn't quite sure if it only applied to the Japanese bantams. I guess that can also account for some of the losses

So, tell me Fluffy (I’m a big girl… I can handle it)… is tiny Mercury gone?

I wanted to wait until tomorrow, but unfortunately, yes. Yours and @TwoCrows 's had what I'd consider very clear blood rings

I'm so sorry

Like I said, there was a third one with a blood ring, but I can't remember which (I'm between two numbers). Instead of stressing everybody out, I'll just update you all on every single egg tomorrow, when I'll candle them all.



Makes me wonder if the early candling played a role in them quitting

I’m certain it’s not something you did, these things happen!

I don't think it's the candling, as I'm sure you didn't take them out and shake then all around.

I am sure it was nothing you did!

Thank you for the reassurance . I did candle Jelly Bean and a couple of the (still growing) serama eggs, and those are fine (hoping I don't jinx it now). I really don't know. I hope they're all growing, and I just made a mistake
