well, since no one has posted yet thought i would throw in here what i did last night. I took my son to an animal shelter and he did adopt a new friend. its been at least 6 months since his cat passed away. I knew i had done the right thing when i seen the smile on his face as he was holding her. she is a korat, hypoallergenic, spayed, utd on everything and micro chipped for 9 dollars. He refused to put her in a box and she slept in his lap all the way home with no fuss. it was an hr. drive. the tables have turned now. instead of the cat helping him, it is his turn to help the cat. she is shy. he already has started with no prompting from me .

I have a mean Serama rooster. He is going out of his way to flog me whenever I let them out to free range. I only have two Seramas but we think the hen will be better off without him since he is so dominant. And his attention is always on her since we only have two. I think I am going to give him back to the person I got him from. She has big roosters and hens. But she has his other brother and sister and they just hatched out two babies. They are probably a month old or so now. What do you guys think? I am not trying to be mean. She will make sure that he doesn't get hurt though.
 
I'm new to seramas. I have a dozen eggs that should be hatching by next Friday. Since they are something new I have been doing a lot of reading. In a number of places, "lethal factor" has been mentioned in regards to 25% embryos dying in the shell. I have not been able to find a better source of information on this. I assume that 25% is an average overall? Do the embryos die throughout incubation or is it at a more definite point in incubation? From my original 20 serama eggs 12 are developing. I'm hoping that I do not loose many more.
 
I've been hanging out in some Serama Facebook groups that have a lot of members who show Seramas, and periodically they offer eggs, chicks, started or adult birds, but the prices are so high! But I figured if I keep an eye out, sooner or later I would have a chance to get some eggs from exhibition stock that are affordable.

So my chance came... I think. A lady posted gorgeous pictures of her Seramas, and said she had too many eggs, so she would sell some for $30/doz shipped. She said they would be "A's" and small "B's"

So I paid her for a dozen, which I received yesterday. She did a careful packing job, so that's a good sign, though one egg was broken. The remaining eggs looked bigger than they should be for A's and small B's. But I put them in a carton, and this evening, when I went to put them in the incubator that has my Serama eggs in it, the size difference became very obvious. These eggs are HUGE compared to my own Serama eggs. They're almost as big as Sebright eggs.

I'm a bit concerned about what's going to hatch out of those eggs.
 
I have several hens ranging from A to C and they all lay different size eggs. I have a C that lays small eggs and a C that lays bigger eggs. The difference between the two is their age. One is 2 and the other is just at a year. I also have a very small B that lays eggs the same size as the C that lays bigger eggs. She is nearing 2 years old as well. Don't get discouraged on the egg size. Her birds just may be more mature.
