Brahma or serama cockerel? Help me decide which one

Like you, I had the incubator going so... But that was a lesson learned from a previous experience.

An egg was pipped and starting to zip but got kicked out of the nest. I put it back and went to work. Came home and the egg was kicked out again, and cold. No movement. I took it out and started to do an eggtopsy, when I noticed the chick was still, if barely, alive. And missing several toes from being pecked at.

I cupped him in my hand and breathed on him to warm him up as I got the incubator going. Slowly, he started to move. I didn't have much faith in him making it, but I put him in the incubator and he made a full recovery! His name is Precious.

That’s incredible! What an amazing story! I love the name too.

Same! Can we see precious Wind?

She was 4 weeks old at that time…. still a full 3-4 months away from even beginning to lay. I assume she felt the need to take on the “big sister” role.

Wow! I knew serama were early to mature, but not THAT early! Mine are around 7-8 weeks old (I think) and I just can't imagine them caring for something! One is quite literally 2/3 of a sparrow!

Here’s Seasons just a few days after her own hatching. This one was a TOTALLY mommy-spoiled chick! Still is.

Initially, I believe her main interest was with interacting with her own kind, since she was a lone hatchling herself. That teeny girl took a lot of pressure off of me with the way she took to them!

Oh, you've seen pics of him, just didn't have his backstory.

Sorry for the bad angle on that second one. I'll try to get pics of his foot that's missing his toes later.

Oh I have seen him! Purty boy

He's not show quality, not with that red leakage, but he is pretty and he's very friendly. And tiny! A pigeon is bigger!

And that concludes day 2! Today I went down for roost time a little later than expected, and the babies had roosted properly. So today I thought I should do an overview of their personalities. The smallest pullet (and generally) lighter creme is pretty friendly, she loves foraging for food, very pretty, and a little bully! For some reason she doesn't trike the black one. The black pullet is the biggest of the bunch, and the most scared of me. The last tan-ish pullet is no thoughts just vibes. She's cool. She loves her self-care, after every meal she climbs on the perch and preens herself. Then we have the boy! I love him so much. He's GORGEOUS. Not even 2 months old and already practicing calling over the girls for food and his crows. His personality is amazing, he's a little bodyguard, such a nice bird. I'm so excited to see him grow. Gosh, they need names, don't they?!

So glad to hear they're settling in and that you've become enamoured by them!

As for names, what's the theme going to be this time? Gemstones, maybe?
