American serama thread!

I don't know but he has beautiful, rich colors.

This is my little rooster Lightfoot. He is almost 6 months old now. I was wondering what colour you would call him. He has some gold penciling on his chest and had some on his flight feathers before I clipped. them, I am not a fan of clipping wings as all my runs are covered, but he is new, and never been handled so he was flighty and had already gotten out once so I clipped them, for his own safety. What colour would you call him?

Fantastic coloring...maybe duckwing? That's my best guess.

Not my month for seramas it seems.. my only white pullet, snow poff, passed away yesterday after a long fight with illness. We feared marek's. Our poultry vet was speedy with the necropsy and was able to tell us it wasn't, thank goodness. But it is still a sad loss... the poor thing, she was so young.

On top of that, I think both of my tribbles that make it through the hatch that suddenly up and failed last possible second are smooth feathered?! NOOOOOOOO!!!!

Also had two babies hatch under a hen and one of 'em just looks.. off. He's really small and is just.. extra blobby? Weird? I can't put my finger on what's different about him, exactly. For all intents and purposes he is a healthy baby, eating, sleeping and pooping like he should, but he just exudes this weirdness aura. So we named him Pug. I wonder if he will grow out of his bizarreness.

Man, you've got nothin' but bad luck.
If you're going to set eggs again, I'll send you a couple of eggs from Alfie's trio.
They're highly likely to produce yellow-legged Silkied offspring.
Save those smoothies if they're pullets. They've got Silkied genes & will be good for breeding back to your Tribbles.
Poor Snow Puff.

When it rains it pours. Luck runs in streaks; soon it will be good luck. Until then look at the good-2 Tribbles did hatch and two new chicks. Often those "weird" chicks turn into something special and Pug sounds special.

Avatar hen eggs hatching today. Only two, but that's better than none. And I was expecting none, so quite surprised to see the two eggs pipped this morning.

The four Tribble eggs are still growing. One has a large air cell so not sure what to expect.

Snow Poff's breeder is offering me white serama eggs, but they are off lay right now, and I was going to set some scaleless project eggs but had two hens go broody so I do have an empty incubator for now. I'd be happy to set more in hopes of getting some silkied offspring, but absolutely do not expect it! It is above and beyond for you to offer. Please let me know what I'd owe you, purchase/shipping wise

They're not showing any signs of being roosters yet but its still really early. It has been raining pullets on me lately, we'll see if my luck holds out! They are still noticeably round little things! We're used to having baby serama around but my husband especially kept stopping by the brooder to coo at them.

Yeah, we've got a pretty full house with babies right now. Just moved 4 birds in to adult pens today but that still leaves 10 between 2 brooders, +ducklings in another, +more on the way. I'm happy we don't have marek's, and to be hatching for my first non-serama project. Things can only look up from here. Now I just wish it would stop raining so much!

Candles on day 14 today. All the ones in incubator going strong and only one under the hen stopped developing.which means I have 21 viable eggs!
