I LOVE the Serama and Brahma picture! Makes the seramas look sooo itty bitty.

I used to raise LF light brahmas. I loved them!

 

[Hatch me if you can]

I wanted to share some of my babies and the size difference btwn them already at 3 weeks old!!!!!!

The smaller of the two came from a hen that weighs in at a whopping 9.6 oz. but they both have the same daddy.

They are cute! That's a big size difference. I have a two month old Mille Fleur cockeral who is the size of my month olds and a little teeny tiny week old chick that is so small I can't hardly grab it. The newborn chicks come out bigger than it. I named it "Minnie".
I was told that the size might mean they are micros, but I have found that the smaller chicks don't always mean smaller birds, just as the bigger chicks can come out to be some of the tiniest seramas. They're all a surprise!

Ken, your birds are all very pretty

. I don't have any color projects right now. I'm in my test mating stage. My OEGBs are going to lose their coop to baby Seramas pretty soon, if I'm lucky!

I got some surprises from my July hatch. They've been molting all fall, so I haven't posted many pics. I have two, Johnny and June that I am hopefully going to take the the AZ show. I haven't posted pics of those two. I iust weighed my pullet tonight, and on a full stomach she makes weight!! I don't know what it is, but my pullets were TINY this hatch. 5 1/2 months old, and 9.6 oz on a full stomach. The cockerels are normal weight, 14 -15 oz.

While the tiny size is so novel, I worry that my pullets will have laying problems.

I don't want them to have short lives. I'm perfectly happy with my 14oz'ers. I think I'm better with shrinking cockerels, rather than pullets.

You know what I could use.... I need small pullet, that is at the bottom of the pecking order to be a buddy to my youngest pullet (4-1/2 months) <9oz. She lost her BFF to an internal egg issue, and has nobody that she can relate to. All offers will be considered.
