The Malaysian Serama, a.k.a. Ayam Serama temperature and humidity level for hatching is just like any other Bantam breeds.
Temp should be around 99.5F - 100.0F for Forced Air incubators and 101.5F - 102.5F for Non-Forced Air Incubators.
Humidity should be around 60% for the first 17 days and raised to about 70% for the last 2-3 days. Wet bulb humidity is different than these values here. Make sure you double-check.
With this Temp & Humidity, I get 90% or better hatches everytime!

How should you control the temperature and humidity on two different clutches of duck eggs incubating in the same incubator at the same time with different hatch dates?
There's no need to. Some will just hatch sooner than others.
Incubater temperature chickens?
The best temperature for hatching chickens or even ducks in an incubator is between 99.5F and 100.5F. The temperature is not the only consideration as the humidity must be right also. Eggs should be at a 55% humidity rate through to the 18th day and raised to better than 65% during the final days.Chickens take 21 days from start yo hatch and ducks can take as much as 35 days.
Do you need to control the humidity in an incubator and if so how?
Absolutely. The temperature alone will not produce a hatch unless you live in a very naturally humid place. Most commercial small incubators will have "channels" at the bottom of the base (under the wire mesh) that hold water. These must be checked regularly and humidity should be at around 50%, the temperature should be an exact 100F. Minor temperature fluctuations are tolerated but a drop or increase for prolonged periods will seriously affect the hatch. Extra water is required at about day 18 to increase humidity to 55 /60%. Hygrometers (humidity sensors) are available at most feed and grain store wherever you purchase chicken supplies. A homemade incubator using a light bulb will need a large baking sheet with high sides covered by wire mesh to achieve the desired results. A thermostat and hygrometer are essential for successful hatching. Venting the incubator will help control excessive humidity but be careful not to drop the temperature drastically.
When do bantam start laying eggs?
Bantams, just like their standard size counterparts, lay at about 5 to 6 months old. It really depends on the breed of bantam you own as to whether they are good productive layers laying daily or slow layers who will drop an egg twice a week.
If there is no bantam chicken to sit on peacock egg will peacock egg still hatch?
Most likely not, an egg of any animal has to maintain a certain temperature to hatch. Peacock eggs also have to keep a certain level of humidity to hatch.
At what temperature can you hatch a chicken egg?
Ideal temperature for incubation is 100.5 F and 60% humidity
What is the temperature for a chicken egg to hatch?
100.5 degrees is optimal ambient temperature with a humidity if 60%
How long does it take for a bantam egg to hatch?
21 days
Will a cocoon hatch if moved from its original location?
Theoretically yes - provided the correct temperature and humidity levels are met.
What temperature does it have to be under a hen before the eggs will hatch?
The temperature under a broody hen is normally about 100.5 degrees F with a humidity of approximately 55%.
What is the average temperature needed to hatch a chicken egg?
Incubated eggs do best at 100.5 F with a 50-60% humidity.
What does the temperature in centigrade have to be to hatch chicken eggs?
37.7 C is optimum. No more than 38.6 or the hatch will be reduced greatly. Optimum humidity is 65% for the first 18 days with an increase to 85% for the final three days.

What does the temperature have to be to hatch chicken egg in a incubator?
Eggs should be maintained at between 99.5 and 100.5 degrees Fahrenheit with a minimum of 50% humidity. The temperature can go as high as 101 but this will effect the hatch rate. Prolonged periods of cooler temps below 99.5 will cause delay in hatching.
What is the temperature of chicken egg to hatch in incuvators?
Optimum temperature is 100.5 degrees F (forced air) with a relative humidity of 60%. 55 to 60 % humidity should be maintained for the first 18 days and increased to 70% for the final 3 days while the chick emerges from the shell (peeps).
