Thank you!

Of course, fluffy. Just let me know if/when you want to pick my !

Probably not for another month, although I am big on planning ahead of time, so I can have more time to plan even more. Agh I'll just ask now. How long is incubation for these guys? 21, 18, or even less days? What day do you put them on lockdown?

I don't mind, as long as it stays on BYC. But you'll have to get everyone else's permission as well

No problems from me if they stay on BYC!

I have never hatched Serama eggs, however I've heard they hatch around day 19 or 20. So lockdown would be day 16.

Very pretty! Her earlobes are so unique!

Thank you!

Sounds good! Brd (or not so quickly) with the new calculations

Would anybody mind if I recorded some of these Christmas carols and inserted them here?

I don't mind a bit!
I just write the songs, I can't sing 'em...

unless I want to annoy someone

I can sing them, but they are still annoying to those crazy chicken-haters.

The math equations and formulas the Serama eggs create will start to get overwhelming realy fast, better brush up on your trigonometry!

I can ONLY tell you from my experience with artificial incubation on these teeny eggs. I prefer letting my hens do it, but sometimes one will stop halfway through or attempt to incubate more eggs than her tiny body can handle. This is why I’ve got them in the incubator now. I use digital therm/hygros (99.5-100.00 and 40-44% humidity until day 16, then I increase it) all around the incu floor and only pay attention to those. Later in incubation, I start watching much more closely too. I don’t lockdown on day 18. I do so around days 16-17, because some will hatch sooner. That won’t hurt the eggs to do so (in my experience). The majority ultimately hatch on day 20-21, like a standard egg. I hope this much is of some help. There are others on here that probably know a lot more than me.
