Big excitement in the coop this week. The first little clutch of Seramas hatched!

5 hatched of 7 eggs set, shared between 2 hens.

An odd thing happened though. I accidentally removed one egg thinking it belonged to a Silkie. The egg sat on my counter overnight in temps that got down to 58º. The next morning my son noticed the egg was marked #2 Serama egg, so I though I'd put it back and see what happened. Surprisingly, 3 days later, it hatched! It was the biggest egg too, which is why I mistook it for the Silkie's egg.

I think it might be the larger of the yellow chicks. Would being chilled make a chick a bit "sticky"?


Another nest should hatch Saturday and a third nest next week.


This is our first time hatching. Sure it won't be the last. Think we are in BIG trouble here!

Our first Seramas are due to hatch next week. What do you use to grind up the feed? I was thinking a coffee grinder but wondered what all of you use. I am very excited and so want to candle eggs again but won't let myself until lock down. All the cute chick pictures are not helping!

Rght now we have an old fashion feed grinder hooked up to a motor and we grind our own feed, adding the necessary nueteients, but when we had fewer birds, we used a blender. The different settings allow for different sized feed.
