I ordered 12 eggs from Austin Hart through ebay and he sent 16!! They were packaged amazingly, none were broken, and they're currently on day 3 of incubation. I let them rest 24 hours before setting them and didn't turn the first two days, but today I started turning them by hand. It's taking all my willpower not to candle these little boogers! XD lol

We started candling at set time after rest. Then we know more about the air sacks and start tracking what we see. Like scrambled, loose air sacks , black dots, or even egg size. Records that will help us in our next hatch.

I got two!!!

The rooster is so mean but it’s funny since he doesn’t hurt... I think he was just scared though cause once we got home he’s fine!

Well, today’s day 5 and I had to take a little peak at the eggs and candle them when I turned them. Out of 16; 5 are clear, 3 maybe blood rings maybe babies, and 8 developing strong! I’ll candle again on day 7 to track air cells but yay! Hope I get at least 2 to hatch

Hello all,

I am planning on breeding American Seramas for showing and I have a few questions:

1. Since Seramas don't breed true how do you breed towards the recognized colors?

2. Which size is ideal for showing? A, B, or C?

3. IMO Tim Hopkins' s Seramas are awesome! Who's is better: Tim Hopkins or Jerry S. (Forgot his last name)?

4. How do you train Seramas to pose? No, I'm not going to the Serama shows, but I just like how they look when they pose.

Its sporadic. A little more active in the spring, I think. I saw your questions, but don't have any answers for you, as I don't show mine.

I wish I could help but I’m new to them too...

Question on Tylan 50 injectable.. We had a sudden cold front drop us to low 30's with snow ( very unusual here since we were in the high 70's 3 days ealier) my Hen is now shaking her head and wheezing with open mouth breathing.. was going to use Tylan soluble but am afraid I will need it to be quicker acting so am going with the IM injection instead .. I have seen all sorts of dose suggestions online but you guys and gals seem to be on top of things around here so I was hoping for some insight from the crowd. How much and how often .. she is 410 grams .. I am assuming SID.
