American serama thread!

kukupecpec, many of mine have loose or dislodged air cells. Some settled. I started my incubation with the first two days not turning, having them sit in the egg cartons upright (big end up) My eggs were really badly shaken up as well (I knew there would be a high risk this time of year) and yet, thankfully, I think I see 5 developing tonight. I didn't see anything when I checked a few this afternoon, then I couldn't go to sleep without checking one more time, I mean, what a bummer if none of them hatched! So I systematically checked all of them. The first one that I came to that had a lovely spider vein (4th or 5th egg) I was so happy! Then I looked at the egg again, and it was my one and only possible frizzle egg!, now my heart leapt with joy! I subsequently found 4 more eggs, one that is a maybe, could be a blood ring of sorts, but could be veins?? I'm really hoping more will develop, but if I get two chicks (including that frizzle) I'll be so happy!
 
Oh, Cluck-Cluck, I sooo.. hope you get a Frizzle. I keep watching mine, but have to say, there is really only 2 that I have a remnant of hope for. Feathers are ever so slowly turning up on Cocoa, but it may be my wishful thinking. We'll see, but I do know, next time, I'm going for Frizzles. MUST HAVE A FRIZZLE>>>>
 
Sorry I have been away, been sick and home from hospital now and feeling better! ohhhh I have alot of reading.....

Bhep~ the one I tried to help I did what I could and wrapped her in a damp towel, but DH said she was dead stuck in shell as I had to go to hospital, poor thing : (

but Harmony has these from BHEP until CPL go into lockdown this weekend..... Names???? anyone???

December 2012 Serama Chicks!









SO CUTEEE!!
 
I'll update my baby pics soon. I got two frizzled chicks out of my seven which hatched last Friday/Saturday. I am thrilled! I now have two silkied cockerels, two baby frizzled, and the rest are smooth feathered. AND my early early early (probably wrong) guesses on gender on these new ones point to maybe one cockerel out of the 6...which would be EVEN BETTER! LOL
 
What do you all feed your Seramas? I have read that gamebird feed is best?
I feed game bird feed when I can get it. My local feed store doesn't carry it, so I feed everyone chick starter and some wild bird seed as a treat. They get scrambled eggs and other fun snacks too (they LOVE toast)
 
I know, time just flys! I have my 19 eggs in the 'bator for the NYD hatch, and its been only two days yet people are candling already. You can't see anything at 2 days can ya? Talk me out of trying please, I'm such a candle-holic and I'd rather be good and leave them be, LOL, but now I'm curious.....

I candled at two days..with a bright enough light you can make out the early starters. I will candle again tomorrow, but as of last night late, it looks like almost every one of my eggs for the NYD hatch is veining :D
 
Hi everyone!

I am new in here! I will be getting my very first Seramas next week!

This is the boy I will be getting! I think he is beautiful, and will be getting him either way, but what do you all think?










She said that he is from a dun line, and that I should get a black hen so I will get chocolates. Are chocolates very desirable?

What color would you pair him with?

Thanks so much!

Looking forward to learning about this beautiful breed!
CHocolate and dun are two separate genes. The chocolate makes a very dark brown and it is uniforn in color. The dun creates a multitude of tannish grays, browns, etc on the same bird. You definitely have a dun bird and you have the ability to create platinum, which is dun on blue.

Two copies of dun create "Khaki"

This is an excellent thread to read from it's entirety, because it focuses on the genes your bird is carrying. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/456039/post-your-chocolates-dun-khaki-platinum-bird-pics

I think you have found an excellent bird for your breeding.
