Welcome Jlpkansas, Sounds like lots of people are hatching right now. I have 3 serama chicks and 12 eggs in the hatcher and 28 more in the incubator. Pulse 2 broody hens sitting on 14 more eggs in the coop. LOL…. This is the first time hatching our own Serama eggs. We had 28 eggs to start...

I have some birds from Heartland hatchery. All my birds are healthy now, but when I got the golden laced wyandottes they were too small and weak to sell. But, I was a first time buyer so I got them. It’s not a good sign when you have to ask if the golden laced wyandottes are bantams. I will say...

Yep, I know a lot of us do this as a fun hobby. But some do it for a business. I can’t imagine running a business that “can’t” sell its product for a year and has no control over if they can sell it next year. That would be hard to explain to a shareholder/husband or wife. LOL…….

Tarwaters up north still has there Chick days. Looks like they are still using Heart Land Hatchery. The add on Craigslist says they will be in Topeka at Tarwaters on the 26th of March. Just don’t know how much stock he will have.

It’s nice to see the Kansas thread still going strong. A few people have said there is a high demand or a low supply of poultry this year. My TSC has birds but the Orscheln’s has been hit hard. I guess the poultry ban from last year has upped the demand for poultry this year. Well I hope...

Hi everyone, A friend of mine is looking for two French Cooper Maran Roosters Black or blue. He is looking for nice quality birds for breeding stock. So if you anyone in eastern Kansas that is trying to find homes for some Maran Roos. Let me know. They will have a good home looking after 30ish...

Hey everyone, the first hatch of Serama's wasn't good. We got 3 chicks out of 12 eggs. The next go round we got 5 chicks out of 8 eggs. I'm getting better. The first chicks are 6 weeks old. Can anyone tell hen or roo?

I am trying to get the best hatch too, and I thank you for your guidance. That is why I love this site. Everyone helps out. I have an old thermometer and a gage style hygrometer and I have a digital Thermometer/Hygrometer. So I can drop the humidity by 10% to 15% before I set the eggs tonight. I...

I was going off of the Castle Delight website. How do you recommend incubating Serama eggs? For me personally, I incubate Seramas like any other chicken egg with just a few modifications. However depending on your climate, you might have to make adjustments in the humidity. I do not use an...

Chicken Danz, I have read about a lot of early birds, depending on the temperature of the incubator. Here is my setup. I have a Hova-bator forced air incubator at 99.5F and 55% humidity. My plan was to do a day 18 lockdown and up the humidity to 75%.

Hi everyone, It’s been a cold spring so far. We have some Maran chicks that would love to get outside and run, but it’s just been to cold and windy. I can’t wait to get home tonight. My daughter and I have to unpack some Serama eggs form Castle Delight Seramas. I’m just finishing up there coop...

Ok, thank you. I think Trish44 said there was someone by me that raises bantams also. I’ll have to send out a PM or two.

Hi everyone. Time has been getting away from me. It is chicken hunting time. I have found some local Maran eggs to hatch. But still looking for some Blue or Wheaten Ameraucana eggs. I was working on my daughters bantam coop this weekend. I am looking for some quality bantam birds for 4H. We...

I think what my daughter wants is a smaller chicken she can hold easier and make very tame. I want something that she could show in 4H if she wants. This chicken thing was easier when no one knew what they wanted. Now we have to go through a committee. LOL….

Here is how I first started off with chickens. I read a lot of books and a lot of backyard chicken forums. Then I made a list. I’m a guy, I love a to-do list. #1. What type and size of chickens do I want? I was looking for Kid friendly, Large...

I like all the talk about the bantams. It echoes my thoughts about them. But my daughter is trying to talk me into getting her some bantams this year. She has seen some video of the table top showing of the Seramas. They are the funniest little guys. I’ve read a little bit about them. They are...

Yes, my daughter has taught the chickens there are worms and grubs in the mulch pile. It’s now a mulch area. I think all my animals are crazy. LOL…

It’s the crazy season again. There is too much to do and no daylight to do it in. My hens are happy that the snow is gone. Two days in the coop because of two inches of snow. LOL…. It may be a long winter for them. I have a question. Why is it that my favorite chicken is the one that doesn’t...

Is there anyone breeding some splash Ameraucanas? Blue splash and I think you can get splash from wheaten or blue wheaten.
