Hello all,
I was incubating 18 Serama eggs in a Hova bator incubator with egg turner & fan, the temps. were kept at 98 degrees, the humidity was kept at between 40% & 50%. Serama eggs hatch at about 21 days.
At day 17 I removed the egg turner in preperation in for the eggs to hatch. On the 22 day 1 egg hatched, a healthy chick.
On the 24th. deciding that none of the other eggs would hatch I started cracking eggs. I found 5 infertile, I know this happens
but I also found the rest of the eggs contained fully formed chicks, the yolks were still visable.
My question is what went wrong? Could they have possibly gotten chilled when I moved them from the turner? Even though they were wrapped in a towel?
Or is it that temps., humidity, or the incubator????
Maybe I should just purchase adults & let them do the incubating
I would love any help anyone wants to give
