American serama thread!

[OneCrazyCowgirl]

Anyone have serama hatching eggs or seramas for sale? Thinking about buying one......not sure yet....

 

[cluck-cluck]

My silkies will share. I don't see why seramas are any different.

Oh good! I can't wait to compare, human vs the true experts! and see which has the best hatch rate! But in my defence, I took the ones that had gotten cold around the outside, plus, I do believe some of those were the oldest eggs! LOL

I love the smell of chickens.....Haha!

LOL, at least I'm in good crazy company!!! Maybe that's why they're everybody's favorite food

I grab my hen, Georgia, and smell her. She smells....wonderful.

I'm so sorry to hear about Stormy! How heart breaking!


I would bet that free ranging with other.chickens is really dependent on the individual bird. Taco would fight to the death with every larger bird he encounters, especially roos, but I've had to pull him, bloody, out of a free fights with various hens.

I would think that 4 month old Toy Boy would get into some major trouble with the hens and roosters if he was let loose with them for sure, the little bugger!
Kuku are you any closer to knowing when you will be able to drive up to us?

Well, came home this afternoon to something very sad... Stormy was dead outside of the brooder. I don't know what happened. I think he jumped out and got too cold, as there were no injuries on the body that we could see. Our brooder right now is a Rubbermaid tub. I have a real large wood brooder with a lid, but it's being used right now by older, bigger chicks, and I didn't want the Serama to be beat around by the other chicks. Stormy showed no signs of being able to fly before, so it was really shocking. All of my birds are in the shop, so if I would have been home, he probably would be here right now... And then there's Raine. She's chirping in distress, all alone, looking for Stormy. I do have other chicks, like I said before, but they are LF, and my only other bantams are fully feathered. I'm so shocked about this whole thing still.

I saw others comment so I had to find out what happened. I'm so so sorry

That's so sad!

My bantam orpingtons are very devils for co-EVERYTHING. Co-lay, co-set, co-raise....3 hens at a time, sometimes! Although this year I'm not planning on giving them many chances to raise babies , I'll probably let one batch of eggs stay put for the broody beasties.

Should see 'em gang up on the rest when two of them have a group of chicks--watch out, world, 'cause Mommas Are Mad!

On a Serama note...how often are folks getting teensy tiny jellybean sized eggs, with odd shapes? Got three yesterday, very odd indeed.

Is it their first lay? Sometimes first attempts can be a little rough till they get going

I took a few new pics of my adults today.

One of my roos and and one pullet have white earlobes. Is ear color a problem in tabletop, or just in cage showing? And how hard is it to breed out if so? The cockeral with the light earlobes is my favorite, and I would hate to have to cull him just because of those.

 

[muddyhorse]

Whire on earlobes only matters on white right now
