    Buying Hatching Eggs

    Debbie-Thank you for your response. I will try to find some eggs that are closer to me - at least here in the south so if they do get stuck in a distribution center hopefully it won't be freezing! And thanks for being open to shipping if conditions are right but I don't think the weather is...

    Buying Hatching Eggs

    Debbie I understand you are going to be saving to hatch but is there any chance you live in the south and could sell just 6? I have a NN who is broody and is all alone because a predator took out all of her flockmates about 5 days ago. Her and I are devastated; nothing like this has happened for...

    Serama Hatch-A-Long!!

    @Bama1 Yay! Beautiful chicks, 18 of them, wow! Good question on going price of pet Seramas...I'm guessing it may have to do with where you are and availability. Around here they would likely be high (for birds not shipped).

    Serama Hatch-A-Long!!

    Beautiful babies and beautiful Chip you have there @Skink ! Thanks for the encouraging words, on the chicken end things are going well considering how many hatched. Got a 2nd NN, this one is a silkie and is black so it's really funny looking. The first was from a NN/millie pen so she has lighter...

    Serama Hatch-A-Long!!

    Wow everyone has been very busy! Just a short note today, will TRY to follow up with pics (best intentions get side tracked as my day unfolds). The last 2 eggs in the bator have finally pipped, a day later than others. The NN did hatch, she's a cutie and a keeper (once again pic is still on my...

    Serama Hatch-A-Long!!

    @Bama1 Congrats on your babies! I see, like me, you are still incubating lol. Thansk for the pictures. Fun times! @darkbluespace - Thank you, that is definitely one of the "prettiest" silkies. I've really got to find a way to get some good pics, especially since I have batch 2 hatched now (8...

    Serama Hatch-A-Long!!

    Hey all! I've been quite busy so forgive my lack of updates and photos of chicks...13 hatched on my first batch and 10 silkie/frizzle went into lockdown last night. We had an ice storm and then a major snowstorm here in north Georgia which threw everything off kilter, lots of extra work taking...

    Serama Hatch-A-Long!!

    @darkbluespace - I agree there is likely a fertility problem with the eggs from KY, although I did ask after my first 8 were duds and seller said fertility was good on eggs she was hatching. She also said other people did get shipped Serama eggs to hatch. People say things that aren't always the...

    Serama Hatch-A-Long!!

    @Skink - I am still learning about Seramas, but I am guessing that anytime 4 roos and 1 hen are together there will likely be problems. I have silkies (and frizzles from silkie x frizzle) as well and I know your frustration about waiting for maturity! My very 1st ones were chicks almost a year...

    Serama Hatch-A-Long!!

    @darkbluespace - the pair I am getting were being offered for sale on one of the Serama FB sites, a woman named Stephanie who had to sell her birds due to a financial crisis. The cockerel has won best of breed and they are both around 2 years old. To be honest I am not sure of the location they...

    Serama Hatch-A-Long!!

    Congrats @Bama1 - I got my replacement Serama eggs yesterday and set mine last night too! 2 of 8 had detached air cells, sadly. Beautiful babies @mightymax ! Oh and I broke down and am buying a breeding pair...to be shipped next Monday. So even if my shipped eggs don't hatch I will...

    Serama Hatch-A-Long!!

    @PolePole I don't have any Seramas YET...but working on it. They have so much personality. I just requested replacement eggs from the person that sent me the 1st eight that didn't develop, it's try again time. If I can't hatch any I will start looking for birds to buy. Have to start somewhere...

    Serama Hatch-A-Long!!

    @darkbluespace At least the seller of the Serama eggs said she would replace the eggs for the cost of shipping, which is fair. She did say fertility was checked and was good. Not sure if I will bother getting more...I'd like to, but the disappointment is no fun. Been on a Serama hatching page...

    Serama Hatch-A-Long!!

    Question for experienced hatchers...I finally candled today, day 7. None of the Serama eggs had any development. When I opened them they did not have the bullseye (and 1 or 2 appeared scrambled) - then I realized that I have only looked for the bullseye on fresh eggs, not eggs that have been in...
