American serama thread!

Three of my new Serama chicks have great poops but one has kind of like loose pudding and smells. Do I need to be concerned?

That's normal. Chickens produce two different kinds of poop.

Thanks guys. Makes me feel better. I hold them every day and one manages to poop right under my nose those stinky loose one.

Quote: What colors do the yellow peeps come out as???? I havent a clue lol
Out of 5 Chicks that were born yellow. The 3 males ended up brown laced and mottled, all different shades of brown. The girls look totally different, I don't know what color one of them is but she has lacing and mottling to a certain degree. The other has pumpkin markers.

I have 3 chicks in the brooder, all hatched yellow. None have the same feathering (or parents) as the birds above. They are lighter colored then the others... so we will see what they turn out like.

When you are breeding for Wheaton, the chicks you look for are solid yellow.

From my experience there are quite a few different colors that evolve from yellow chicks. It seems like every chick I have ever gotten was solid yellow... or had one or two tiny black dots on their head or back.
interesting Thanks!!! one has blue like spots!

 

[Hatch me if you can]

Just wanted to share a few pics of this years silky girls. They are also split for frizzle, they have a brother that is a silky frizzle just like momma!!


She jumped the flash on this one!!

they are sisters and just started to lay

The smaller of the two girls doesn't look like she is laying just yet.

I do have a question for some of you long time breeders out there. The two eggs that have been laid so far have been the size of a "penny" without any yolk in either of them. I am hoping that this changes but is it a sign of things to come?? (sorry no pics of the eggs they were discarded before I thought to post)

I just got another egg from these little girls today. and I did take a pic of it.




They seem to be getting larger but only slightly. They have all of the components of a "normal" egg just minus the yolk. I think that I may have an infertile little hen..

I guess a little more time and we will know for sure.

I have come to the conclusion that i am SERAMA obsessed...checked the last egg this morning and the chick is alive...should hatch tomorrow...then we shall watch the five progress into mini works of art!

Well, I gave up last night and gave my Serama chicks their heater back, LOL. They were peeping so much (they're already in the house, but it was probably 50 degrees in there. They were agitated and jumping and getting stuck between the cardboard liner and the cage... Ugh! So I turned on the lamp. I guess they won't be going outside this winter Now I have to figure out what to do with the chicks I will hopefully be hatching?!?! Ugh, I don't want chickens in the house anymore,
