American serama thread!

kukupecpec the bedding is made from ground corn cobs. some feed stores carry it. it is also used in parrot cages. when packaged for livestock it runs about $6-7 a bag. for birds it is $15 a bag same stuff just fancy packaging. a little goes a long way. so much less dust. good luck with your babies.

Alright, here he is... I named him Stormy and if its a she It'll be named Raine. He thinks I'm his mom as last night I had an incubator emergency and had to take him out and snuggle him to keep him warm.

The egg on the right pipped this morning.

Just thinking of tiny turkeys reminds me of that commercial of that russion guy with the pet mini giraffe! Lol I can only think of slaughtering chickens that I accepted their fate when they are baby's. It would be heartbreaking to take the lfe of a chick you are attached too. Has anyone here eaten serama?

Oh I just loved that commercial! I wanted one so bad! I just couldn't eat a serama!

He is adorable. So glad another egg pipped for you. It is so hard when there is only one chick.

Really excited now. I just set 3 of my own Serama eggs. These are the first eggs from my girls. I can't believe how time flies. I was just remembering them when they were hatched.

Looks like we got a hatching party going on! I ordered twelve eggs from Charlie, she sent four extra, and all sixteen perfect little eggs went in the incubator late last night! I can't even begin to describe how anxious I am... These next twenty one days are going to be torture. I hope at least one egg hatches for me!

Good luck with your hatch. I set 17. BHep sent me 20 but I didn't have room for them in the incubator so I gave the extras to a friend. It's the middle of day 21 now and I only have one hatched and one more with a pip. I put 8 into lockdown and I think the lethal gene killed 2, maybe more. We'll just have to wait and see what happens.

I agree, everyone here has been super helpful and extremely nice.

I'll be sure to post egg updates! I love reading everyone else's hatching updates as well. Seeing those little eggs and chicks just makes my heart melt.
