Beautiful silkied seramas! I hope you get some stunning chicks from that pair.



Of course DH just walked by my computer & noticed that I was looking at 'chicken porn.'

Update on my tiny pair.

Day 17-the eggs are hatching. Externally pipped and loud chirping; lots of clucking from the mom. I'm like a kid in that I'm so excited. 50 years of raising birds and I still get all goofy when new babies arrive. Wish me luck. I'm hoping for all six to hatch. AND ONLY DAY 17!!!!!! My eggs have always taken 20 days to hatch.

The little black rooster has grown one small rooster curled tail feather. I'd show picture but I do not think it would show up much if at all.

good luck! Day 17 is quite a bit early. Any idea why?

Years ago I read that smaller serama eggs hatched earlier; as early as 15 days. I doubted this, it it would appear it is correct. I made sure to mark the first day of brooding on the calendar; I even asked my wife what day it was even though I knew-No mistake 17days.

This is my first time dealing with microserama.
