    I have 3 broody (1 silkie and 2 silkie-serama mix) hens sitting on and hatching eggs in 2 nesting boxes. All was going great till just now. My daughter just found a dead newly hatched chick out of the box and 2 of the three hens fighting. The last time we checked the chick was hatching along...

    American serama thread!

    I don't know if this is the right place to post this question, if it's not I apologize. Last summer, for girl scouts, my daughter hatched some Serama eggs. We currently have 8 including 2 cockrels. We've decided we need to downsize due to lack of space and too much crowing. They are...

    3 broody chickens sitting on a nest with one egg. I guess it was too crowded so the egg was pushed out. It was very cold when we found it. Didn't think it would make it but we stuck it in the incubator. It hatched today!

    My lone rescued chickie egg had a small pip late last night. Still looks the same this morning. Hurry up chickie. I'm not good at waiting.

    Funny, since we rescued the egg that was pushed off the nest we didn't know a hatch date. My daughter and I decided to candle today. She picked up the egg to candle and it peeped. She was so excited! Her smile was great. Hoping to have a chicken soon.
