Ah, okay. I know the type you mean. Is this also the case for the chicks? Maybe just give *them* some moist food?

Why don't you dampen the food a bit? Mine seem to prefer the softer texture, too. AND, you waste less food since the dust is incorporated with this technique.

Yeah, I see this too. But usually only one cleaning is needed to put them right. And they hate it! :lau

OR, climbed on top to the others!

Awww, so cute!!! :love Grats on all the floofs! So, when are the next Serama eggs being incubated? ;)

It's okay, I don't blame you. Just life. ;)

I told you I was bad luck at these things. That's okay, I'm really happy I didn't pick a Serama egg lol! Congrats on all the little peepers!

My very first hatch I wrote down all the info on the chicks. Colour of egg, egg size, colour of chick, number of toes, etc. Of course, all this information was useless as they feathered out for the most part! But I could keep an eye on those I liked most and tell them apart. Mainly my poor...

What, you didn't write little numbers on them when they hatched? :lau

Let me guess, one of the non-hatchers is mine, right?

Try hatching duckling. Now THAT is stressful. They can take up to 48 hours after initial pip to finally hatch!

Fluffy, take a deep breath, relax, everything will be okay. :hugs I know, easier said than done! I have anxiety issues too!

:wee 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.

Oh, I have several hens that go broody, just not that early in the year! Heck, it's still dipping below freezing (currently -3c). I've started letting one of the banty Cochin sit. I would much rather have the eggs brooded naturally. If I want to have anything for sale for the Spring, I need...

I was the same way last year, but my pessimism took over and now I'm just happy once they've hatched. Then again, all these power outages have kind of killed me inside. Like my eggs.

Sarcasm, my dearest Fluffy. But in a loving way. :)

NOOOOOOOOO! :eek: :lau

Opening the incubator is not an issue. I do it all the time. Heck, had a brief power outage that cooled the eggs completely (including my Survivor eggs) and they did fine. Place a damp sponge or folded face cloth in there with them to keep the humidity up if you're worried. :hugs

Time to emerge, little Emergency! But make sure your yolk is all sucked up first!

In other words, if you could, you would. ;)
