The tiny serama; a Hatching adventure

[TwoCrows]

I am! I'm also terribly worried the other eggs will get affected by all this roughhousing

Yeah it can be rough on them. @2ndTink used little baskets last time to isolate the eggs and I also like @gimmie birdies method with the rope. I've never tried either of these but I will when I hatch next!

I liked the baskets but it did seem to mess up the Brinsea air flow possibly, I need to do a test. My thermometer was reading low and as soon as the basket was removed it went up but it didn't make sense, so I need to do some testing!

Yeah, I might need to come up with something for these guys. I'm also starting to worry that they're having trouble piercing the membrane AFTER externally pipping, I saw one with a large pip strougle with piercing it. Then it got rolled around and I can't see the pip anymore

Come on little Jelly Bean and Serama Friends, we can’t wait to meet you!

We have TWO hatchlings! Tzatziki was the first, and then came an unclaimed brahma mix!



They are now peeping their heads off, and tumbling around all the other eggs

welcome little ones! Keep encouraging the others but stop knocking them around please!

 

[Canadian Wind]

So excited for you!

DO NOT WORRY about opening the incubator to straighten out eggs, or even taking them out to check/candle them. Even Mommas get off the nest when the eggs are hatching.

Congratulations for the first hatchers, Fluffy! Come on Freddie, τσουρέκι, and ALL Greek Eggies… stay strong and come out to meet Fluffy and all of your admirers!

Day 20 peeps!

@Nero70002 sorry for taking so long to get back to you, number two (a pure Tsouloufati egg) is both unclaimed, and developing! Would you like to claim it?

Sure! Do you also have any Serama left? And I don’t know what names have already been used

Done! No serama left, unfortunately. The theme is Greek-y/Easter-y

Hmm I think I’ll name him Μέλι/Méli
