American serama thread!

I just heard a peep in my lockdown box, gosh I hope they make it (they should make a nervous icon, I guess this one fits best:

'tis how I feel!)

I think I lost one. Not sure how, but maybe it's because we went from high's in mid/low 70's to mid 90's today and when I wasn't looking, it could have gotten hot? I don't know, but the other one still seems ok. Not hatched yet though!

how far along? i read that seramas have a 'lethal' gene, which is why sometimes they don't make it to hatch

Was ok when I put it in lockdown yesterday. The other one I heard peep not too long ago, but ??? I hope it didn't get so hot in there, I just don't know.

I just heard 3 very strong peeps coming from that egg! If it's that loud, hopefully it's strong!

just keep a close ear on it, it it seems to be getting week, you may need to help it a little- what i do if that happens is peel just a little of the shell, to get him started

Yah, I don't think I'll be sleeping tonight.

Tonight, I went to a show to drop off some birds, and ended up with a very young Serama pullet. I've already studied the breed standard, but was wondering if they were safe to be kept with a Bantam Cochins, Wyandottes, and a PR? She is going to be used as a show bird, and I want to keep her in top condition.

Lol we probably saw eachother. Were you in Salem?

As for your question. I keep my seramas with my other bantams and have even kept them with my Dominiques without problems. I f you notice her being chased around a lot or looking ruffed up and shy in the corner you may want to seperate her. If she seems okay, then you can leave her in the flock.

For some reason I can't post pics? Isn't showing anywhere to load them. Any idea as to why?

not sure, but there is thread about that in the feed back section at the very top of the forum index.

hope that helps.
