Is it just my birds....They have perfectly good waterers, but they drink out of the water bucket we rinse our rubber boots in before coming into the house...

I started a seperate thread about real serama vs the kapans we have now for those who would be interested in truly fixing this breed.

KUKUPECPEC: Any Pip's Yet????

nothing yet. Still got one more day til 19 =D

Yes, I add eggs everyday, then get hatches everyday. I put the date that are expected to hatch on the egg. I did just put about fifteen eggs in at once, but that might bite me in the foot. I usually keep the chicks in the incubator for about two days, then move them to a brooder box. This time, I had about ten eggs hatch over two days and the first ones were hopping all over the eggs and dirtying them with tiny little feces.( I also put in water and food crumbs.) I didn't like that thought too much. I like the method where I just put in eggs as I gather them. This way, the chicks in the brooder always get used to new birds every day or two, teach the new babies about food and never seem to have that issue when new adult birds are presented to the flock when they are older. (The new birds have issues because they weren't raised that way!) The only re-adjusting is when the cockerals grow older and spar. they don't spar long. What's really funny is when the cockerals think they are ready to mount the older hens, and the hens turn around to teach those young pups a thing or two!
Another good thing about this method is that different birds grow at different paces. I bought 30 birds from Welp and some grew huge while others stayed small. So it really doesn't matter how old the chicks are when I put out with the flock, but it does matter their size and feathering. I only put the larger birds out with the whole flock when I think they are big enough to withstand the cold temps. ( I do have heat lamps out there if they want to huddle under them, but most just huddle together. I think I'll just move the heat lamps over the waters.) So by adding new birds everyday to the brooder, i can just move out the larger ones when they are big enough, but not just by age.
Did that help? that is just my method of doing things.

That is awesome! I will definitely have to try this once my own birds start laying! Thanks for the info,this is exactly what I was looking for =)
