I show you the new entries in our family: 3 baby Serama, hatched from eggs gifted by my brother. They were 18 eggs, 12 were good but then only 3 chicks… anyway better three than nothing. The three are so sweet and cute, I can’t wait to see if they are hens or roo!
Hello forum,
I already have a wooden chicken coop but sometime I'd wish have an omlet one. I love the colour, the design and it seems very easy to keep clean and so on. BUT it is very expensive so I wonder if it really could be a good choice to keep some hens.
Thanks for your advices and...
Yesterday evening I started my first 2019 batch. 4 Marans eggs and 4 Araucana eggs!
I can't wait to do the first candling!
I really like this new incubator: I can add water from outside without opening it. So temperature and humidity will not change for all the time of incubating. I my old one I...
Update: Finally I choose the small incubator. I'm planning to use it twice/three times this spring and I'll be plenty of chicks. I can't wait to start the hatching season!
Hello!
I sold my old incubator. It was ok but too big for me (49 eggs).
I want choose a smaller one.
Of the same brand, I like a new incubator that can hold 8 eggs. It is very nice and compact and I like that the cover is completely transparent, as you can see inside without open it.
I just...
I think the killer was a marten. The snow of this winter bend a little the wire-net roof and there was a small hole. We planned to fix it but too late :(

Thank you to all
last night a beast killed all my chickens :(
The only safe is Dora because she was sick and it was a week she was in my house in a dog kennel.
They were sweet hens and i loved all them so much.
It is very sad :(
I'm in your same situation. A breeder suggest to deworm even if I can't see any sign. I took a medicine to give in the water but now I'm waiting as they are laying and I think it will be a pity throw away eggs for a week...
Hi! Soon I'll be a "breeder" of Seramas me too! Next week I'll go to take a couple (or maybe a trio) from a good breeder. I can't wait to have these mini-chickens! :love
I'm back to this forum for an update. My hatching was not a success... only 4 pullets and not of the right breeds. Anyway, this guy who sold me the eggs was a trickster. Very low hatching rate and not the right breeds as declared. I was very sad and disappointed. Money and time wasted for...
Yesterday, 8° day, first candling! Two seramas seems not fertile... Other show blood vessels and the dark spot! Only 3 are "doubt" because I cannot see the spiderweb... so I'm really happy! only sorry for Serama... I'll try again to hatch a tiny-hen next time!
No, I already hatch eggs in past years, about three times I think. The last one was at least three years ago, then I stopped.
My first time was with Welsummer eggs (I love this breed but it's so hard to find here in Italy).
Hello forum,
in about a week I'll start my 2017 incubating eggs! I can't wait and I'm so excited!
I'm planning to incubate 20 eggs, most of them will be of Amrock breed (this is an european breed very similar to Plymouth Rock, you can see it in my avatar), and some eggs will be of Marans...
