I hatched my first ever Serama eggs last week, how much fun it was! And how scary it was! lol..they cost me a fortune! I hatched 11 out of 18 (6 were infertile and 1 didn't develop to hatch).

All 11 are healthy and active!

I was putting them in their new brooder today and noticed the strange feathers on 2 of them that had their wing feathers growing (some are younger and have no feathers yet).

The eggs I got from a breeder were for Frizzled, Silkied, and Normal Serama chicks.

SOooo, I was just curious, do you think these 2 could be Frizzled? Or am I getting my hopes up? lol. I've got Frizzled Cochins, so I have seen them grow..but I am hoping I am right!

Can't tell yet if any are Silkied..maybe soon though.

7 Lavender Orpingtons, 8 Seramas (Frizzled, Smooth, and Silkied), 4 Silkied Ameraucana, Coturnix and Bob White Quail, Capuchine Pigeons, Ringneck Doves.

It's super absorbent, too.

I like it a lot, far less dusty than shavings, and no smell, as shavings can sometimes have...I seem to have to change it less often than shavings, as well...
