I know it might be too soon to tell about the two newborns but can anyone give me an idea of what color these would be called? Especially the frizzle, she is a little over a month old. I just got them this past weekend, my very first Serama's!! I'm in love

I was only going to get two, but I couldn't resist the frizzle and the little one in the last pic. The black and white is by far the tiniest little thing I have ever seen!! About half the size of a prescription bottle,I wonder if it will be a micro?!

You can't be sure with shipped eggs of any breed.

As for Serama eggs that people have bought from me and I have shipped to them: one person got an almost 100% hatch. Several people have reported over 50% hatch.

But on the other end of the spectrum, some people have reported 25% to maybe 33% hatch. A few people have gotten 20% or smaller hatch. Fortunately, so far nobody has reported a complete failure (0% hatch)..

I have the birds on a good diet, and I pack the eggs well. But after they leave me, it depends on how they get handled by USPS.

Lice are the worst! They hide during the day and attack at night......... One should inspect their birds at least once a month after they roost for the night as they are much calmer then.

It's crappy I agree, But lesson learned that is the important thing! We all go through learning curves one way or another. Just don't beat yourself up to much over it.
