American serama thread!

I set 21 today, for a New Year's hatch, and I have 2 dozen that I put in last week for a Christmas hatch! I believe that makes 4 of us hatching for New Year's!

Setting eggs tonight, if they hatch like last time, should have some chocolates! Yummy!

Me, too...Chocolates, Blues, Blacks...! Saying my prayers to the Hatching Gods for some smooth seramas this time around! (The frizzle gene is very strong over here!)​

Okay, I have been thinking of doing the PVC feeder. How does the feed come up high enough to the top to let the birds eat? Is there enough "pressure" behind them to do this?

thank you.

If you use the 4" pipe there is enough pressure to keep the feed coming. If the birds are too short to get to the feed you can provide a brick or a block for them to step up on.

The little one is 2" pipe. That doesn't have enough space to have sufficient pressure.

Just started with Frizzled, I was able to get a white Diane Brewer hen at Ohio National as well as her white frizzled son. Also picked up a silkied cock there from catwalk. His color is interesting with splashes of white & chocolate! So hopefully will have some of these in the spring to add to the flock. I already have smooth & booted. Hatched out a booted in blue mottled, from my heavy booted cock & a smooth hen! He is lightly booted but will have heavier feathering in the next gen.

Sounds like you have several "projects" going on at once! I hatched out a small, frizzled-mottled-RUMPLESS-chocolate boy this past August, from my chocolate quad...He is soooo cute, and I'd love to start a project with him, but I just don't have the room for all the "projects" I'd like to do...

...Sigh!

His name is Odo...

He's from Rolo and The Triplets...
