i still have that other white cockeral . i'll watch him and see how he fills out he might make a good breeder he came from pretty good bloodlines we will have to see and if he's good and you like him maybe we could trade or something just a thought .

My Silkie has hatched two Seramas so far! I'm so excited.

She also hatched a little Silkie this morning and there's an EE egg pipping away as we speak.

just be careful that the silkie does not crush the little seramas . congrats and good luck .

is it eating and drinking on it's own...?

i have raised some single chicks before... in the living room where it saw/heard more people... now she's super attached to me... she loves being held and is the sweetest girl i have... she's an oegb/serama mix too...

No, it is still in the incubator as it was very weak. Trying to walk but i will not put it with the others until I feel it is strong enough and of course the food and water are in the brooder. This just happened at lunch time today.

i know this sounds silly, but get some chick starter, put it on the bottom of the brooder, and tap it with your finger nail while making the BAP! BAP! BAP! BAP! noise... LOL... kind of how the roosters feed their hens... and the chick will run to you and taste what you are taping at... they even eat off my finger that way...

it really works... ask sue, bill and joey... LOL... they kept laughing when the little pullet would run to my hand thinking it was gonna score a treat...

What about giving the chick some karo syrup mixed in a bit of water??? Just to get the blood sugar up, and once it's a little perkier then try to get it to eat starter or boiled egg??
