Thanks bnews, I already joined but I didn't know I needed to find you on facebook to buy the bands I'll try to locate ya'll there

Oh, your birds are so awesome, austinhart!

Those sound like awesome accessories, kukupecpec! I plan on making some diapers when they're grown up, but just for a few favorites that will be extra spoiled They have to like to be with me, and a few are already like that, others would rather hang with the other birds, which is OK too

Thanks and he is so sweet. I told steven I just couldnt kill him so for now he stays with mama until I can find him a new home.

Wow your birds are beautiful! I sure hope the eggs I bought hatch. I want the frizzle sizzle and silkie so bad.

So my three hens were laying almost daily...and i was collecting them for the bator....after a week...they have stopped laying now...should I have left a few of the eggs in the nest boxes or what? I only have 9 eggs and I want more.

Austinhart: your birds are soo beautiful, but I'm pretty sure you know that already? LOL!! The roo in the first pic is my favorite.

Wildworks : I'd set them, as these hens are so unpredictable.... 9 is better than none, right?

My awesome news non- Serama related: my Mille Fleur Duccle laid her 1st egg yesterday, and today my EE gal laid her 1st egg, bright blue!! Tomorrow is Serama lockdown, and I'm officially in Heaven!!!

Austin, those are Some birds!

Beautiful! I especially like the first roo (white & black) and the first hen (the white & brown hen). Great posture on those little guys.

I wish I could find someone here in Fl closer to me that I could buy some good quality chicks from. All the pictures I see of the good ones (tiny) are adults and go for upwards of $100 each or more and the more "affordable" ones ($50 or less)are rather poor in posture and huge. I wouldn't mind spending the money for good stock, but figuring out where to put them to raise them so I could sell would pose the problem here. Hubs won't let me have an incubator... the only time I borrowed one, I set over 60 eggs and hatched out 48. Way too many for a city lot.

I guess I need to start saving up so I can buy a pair or trio in a few years.


Edited to ask:
Austin, do your birds naturally stand up straight or do you teach them to stand like that? Can you tell when they are little chicks if they will stand up straight? (well, straight for a chicken! LOL)

I ask because I see Seramas for sale that stand up proud like the Malaysians do, and then I see Seramas that look like tiny regular chickens with regular horizontal bodies.

Which posture is the ASA looking for?
