The chicks are temporarily in the living room and the incubator is in my room…the chick looks like it was yellow with some black or maybe would’ve turned out mottled

Thank you..I used the first link and put a safety hole then decided to open the air cell..the chick was very dry and has been dead for at least a few days. Eye sockets but no eyes and yolk almost all absorbed except for a small amount that didn’t smell too good…sorry if this tmi but at least I...

I think I saw one there was one about a serama.. this egg is particularly small and huge air cell so I’ll look for that article again..thanks!

Thanks for the tip! I might try that…by drilling a hole do you mean you used the tweezer to poke it?

Is she a brown red old English game bantam?

Since I’m working all weekend and starting full time school after that, I decided to do eggstopsies. I won’t say how many yet but was shocked to hear a chirp. Considering today would be day 27 for the serama eggs, this could mean one of the following: I am hearing things I am hearing things...

Cute! Is that a Houdan? Chris- I think I get the reference- The Outsiders? One of my favourite books.

@Wandering_r0gue I ordered button quail eggs (when she used to sell them) from Breezy Bird Farms in Rosenort, Manitoba in 2020 and most of them hatched. They were sent fast and packed well. Her website is amazing and I still have a $5 off coupon from her..Hope it doesn't expire as I'd like...

I was going to post pictures of my final hatch but don't want to give away the number that hatched so I'll wait until after the contest ends. :)

By the way I forgot to mention...I have had chicks die shrink wrapped in the shell with other bantams when I was living in Arizona where the climate was already dry. I still had 16 chicks from that hatch out of about 20 eggs but the others I do remember them being shrink wrapped so I would...

I forgot to mention the 40% humidity did make me a little nervous until I read online that seramas can hatch at 40-50% humidity. But I also read of others using the dry hatch method until lockdown then increasing to 65% which is what I always did when hatching other bantams. I had put a sponge...

How is the humidity? I was surprised when on the morning of April 5th I heard peeping and saw that a chick hatched. My humidity was at 40%. This would be day 18 if March 18th was day 0. I set the eggs at that time around noon. I heard seramas hatch early so I thought maybe at day 20...

Well my experiment with 7 eggs under a bantam cochin and 7 in the incubator hasn't gone that well with the broody eggs. I won't be giving a broody hatching eggs in March again. We fluctuate between freezing and melting temperatures so the coop is muddy and so were all the eggs that she had...

My grandma on my dad’s side had 7 kids and 17 grandchildren. 1 great grandchild (my son) that she got to meet. And another great grandson born after she passed. Getting the 14 serama eggs Saturday. There won’t be a snow storm so looks like we’ll be able to take the 1.5 hour road trip to get...

I was going to get 14 serama eggs from about an hour and a half away on my last weekend off last Saturday but my husband said there would be a snowstorm so we delayed it to my next weekend off on the 18th. Just realized from this thread that they'll hatch around Easter. One of my OEGB hens was...
