OK Serama breeders, I've got a big question. To raise Seramas do I need to have a heated chicken coop? I live in Summerfield, North Carolina. (Just north of Greensboro, NC.) I love the appearance of these birds and they appear (from my reading) to have a great personality. But I don't want to...

Does anyone know of anyone in North Carolina selling "B" class Seramas? Litewings

Thanks panner123. That sounds like good advice. I plan to take it slow. Litewings

Should she be able to hatch 16 eggs? Litewings

These are the first eggs I've hatched that were layed by my MY chickens. Last year I got some red and some buff bearded silkie eggs from Kathryn Walden. I put the best with the best and today their eggs are hatching in the incubator. Litewings
