10 seramas left. The youngest chick died a few days after the photo from my last post due to getting wet. Broody hens + shavings + waterer not a good combo due to the waterer being knocked over when she scratches in the shavings. When the remaining chick was 3 weeks old, her mom Priscilla...

Updates: Presley (last weight on Sept 23 was 18.65 oz) and Ayeza were rehomed and Gail was killed by a predator. We let them out into the backyard everyday after dinner but sometimes don’t have the time to stay more than a couple of hours to supervise them until they go to their roosts so since...

Weights of 16 seramas starting with the oldest: Henley, 1 yr old brown red smooth 12.1 oz or 341 g ( class B). Friendly. Her daughter from another father is Tinsley. 4 eggs due tonight with Presley are being incubated by Buttercup my bantam buff cochin. Priscilla 5 month old (Apr 5) brown...

Thanks :hugs I told the seller I was heartbroken too, she seems to appreciate that I update her on the chicks. She says moms can also reject chicks that aren't theirs if they don't smell like them. Well for now I'm glad to have these 4 babies. One of my serama pullets laid an egg yesterday...

Sharing this horrible story in case it could prevent someone from making the same mistake. Out of 18 serama eggs, I had 8 hatch. They were in the brooder chirping last night and since I had to get up at 5 am this morning for work, I thought instead of them keeping me up I'll give them to one of...

I candled Katie’s eggs and the Cochins’ eggs are still not fertile. She has 2 Hamburg eggs that are developing well and one that is too muddy to candle. If I don’t see anything in it by Friday I’ll remove it. I was thinking of moving Molly and the 7 chicks to the Omlet coop because they now...

I put the 5 seramas that I had gotten last Saturday in the pet tent that I bought yesterday. This will help them integrate with the others in the main coop. Someone in my Facebook chicken group was looking for pullets so I offered to sell all the Easter eggers as we already have Katie and she...

When we went to buy a serama hen and her chick yesterday the seller had Indian blue peacocks and he gave us 4 silver spangled Hamburg eggs which I gave to Katie as she is very broody but one disappeared. I think she might’ve accidentally broken it and ate it. Buttercup laid an egg in that nest...

Thank you! I’ve named the two frizzles after my friends daughters Ayeza and Faiza. The mottled is Trini as her and her sister Gail’s mother is tricoloured mottled. The black one with yellow feet is Crescent. Molly got her chicks yesterday. Peavey Mart received them a day early and they allow...

I got 5 new serama pullets today. The 3 older ones are the same age as my seramas, born first week of April and the 2 younger hatched in May around the 3rd week. And I got 18 serama eggs going in the incubator tonight! (Seller was nice enough to give me 6 extra) Molly anticipating the...

I'll actually be getting a dozen of the serama eggs tomorrow or Saturday, can't wait. Yesterday was the first day that there were no markings on Buttercup's egg. Snowball still had some blue on her egg. Today no eggs from them, just Katie's unmarked Easter egger egg.

Candled all 23 eggs Saturday and last night and all are clear. I kept mistaking the red lines from the buff cochin for veins. Her and Snowball’s eggs are still coloured beyond the 5 days that someone doing the same method with food gel had. Today would be 12 days from when the hens had 1-2...

I just tried changing the name of this thread and there doesn’t seem to be an option to do that

I’ll need to change the title of this thread. I was thinking Kim’s Coop but there’s lots of us Kims here and it’s after 10 pm so maybe next time. I added Snowball and Buttercup’s eggs from today to the incubator so there are 23 eggs: 3 from Katie, 7 each from Snowball and Buttercup and 6 from...

Yesterday there were 2 eggs, one was from Molly the mottled cochin before she started going broody. The other egg I found in the run of the coop from Buttercup the buff cochin. I'm guessing it was when I was checking for eggs and she was in the nest so she ran off and into the run. Today it...

After spending the evening yesterday looking for that lost cheque from the auction, I woke up this morning and thought of the possibility that the kitten was playing with the cheque it might’ve gone under the couch. I forgot that thought, I went to work and left early due to not feeling well...

I feel a bit better and the weather is nice so I decided to get the seramas’ weights. Probably should’ve attempted to take the bigger bantams weights when they were in the nests, impossible to catch them now. Brown red pullet - 14.6 oz or 411 grams Blue wheaten frizzled pullet - 10.8 oz...

Katie then went to Snowball’s nest to lay her egg :rolleyes: All the hens laid today. I will check the nests after I get home from work tomorrow.

No egg from the white cochin yet and I found her sharing a nest with the Easter Egger Katie. She probably didn’t like that I picked her up to get Molly the mottled’s egg. I put her back in the other nest.

She’s blind in that eye, the breeder says she got her from another breeder who said it may have been a dog attack. I hatched 2 chicks from her in 2020 when I first got her which turned out to be a white rooster and barred hen. My friend informed me about a month ago that the rooster was killed...
