American serama thread!

Serama one child family. She only hatched out 1 of 5 eggs.

I'm having better luck this year. Several of my hens raised small families resulting in 11 chicks. Of the 11, 1 cockerel and 10 pullets-how strange is that?
I wish I had a camera.

One is better than none. Two or three times my serama had one chick hatch this year; others had 4 or 5.

I wish I had this one! I lost all my silkied serama last year. Lucky you Faraday40!

Heard chirping under a pile of broodies this morning and pulled this little cutie out. Don’t think I’ve ever seen one with this odd color pattern.

Could you show a picture of the chick now? I'd love to see how it is developing.

How is that unusual colored chick doing?

Unfortunately it died.

I just hatched 11 chicks, kept them inside for a couple days, then gave them to my broody momma group. They are all surviving so far.

Awwww, that is to bad.

Silkied serama-Do you sell hatching eggs??

Never.

Four of the eleven are frizzle-all pullets. If you remember, last year a dog broke into my pens and killed most of my serama; all the silkied and frizzle. An ugly frazzle survived. The four frizzle are from her and they look great.

Another 100% hatch (from all the eggs that made to lockdown. I did have some "clears" and 1 quitter during the 1st week.)
Throughout the day, the chicks were gradually moved to mama sebright. They've all been accepted and are doing well.

Here are a few of the orps
