The tiny serama; a Hatching adventure

[2ndTink]

Thank you so much . I know that you peeps also wanted to see these little guys hatch. We still have a few who are developing (3, at the very least) so let's keep cheering for those, and possibly hoping I was wrong in my assessment. As long as they aren't stinkers, they can stay in the incubator until lockdown. I really hope I just didn't judge their development correctly

From my hatch-a-longs, I found the stress of a quitter or lack of development to be doubled as I was disappointed for myself and equally stressed / disappointed for the person who had named that egg.

Hehe, it sounds a little mean... but I hope you are wrong Fluffy! I hope you didn't see them correctly at all I hope they are ALL growing!

That is true. I kind of don't want to announce which are the quitters, but I feel like I owe it to you, and I also don't want to jinx the rest

Don't worry, I hope I'm wrong too!

We've entered Day 7 everybody !

In less than 24 hours we'll be doing the official first candling!

Today, the comb begins to develop.

I did a little bit of a cheeky candling, and I'm left a bit sad. I saw what I'm 99.9% sure were blood rings on at least three serama eggs, so please send positive vibes, prayers, or anything positive their way, so that we don't lose any more.

@tlcmurphy your eggie is definitely developing, little Jelly Bean is a fighter!

I am so sorry Fluffy, things happen during hatches, stuff out of our control. But we will all be here to cheer you and the eggies on!!!

Thank you. I hope it wasn't my fault. At the same time though, I hope it was. Because if it was, then it's something I can fix in my next hatch. Am I making sense? Thank you all for the support

Blood rings usually aren't something we can cause. They can form from eggs that got too cold or too hot early in in the cycle. So a temperature fluctuation in the machine thing. Weak embryos die early on too, genetics and diet of parents can effect early death. I always seem to get at least 1 or 2 every time I hatch.

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"

“Tested”, is that like using the stud-finder hubby uses to hang pics on the wall?
