Congratulations on your white silkied baby...I'm green with envy. I've been trying for a white silkied for 2 years and still don't have one.

Talk about a true trifecta!! Hatched some seramas last week and really haven't looked them over up close till today as they are just starting to feather in. What do I find but smooth, frizzle and silkie!!!! Still trying to figure out how that happened. I now have my first silkie.

Congrats and thanks for posting all three chicks together, it really helps to see the differences in types as chicks in down and getting those first feathers in. I'd love to see a photo of all three together when they get those first juvenile feathers in. So cute! Congrats!

I love seeing all the progress that everyone has made. Such nice developments in type and color and all.

Serama's can be beloved pet quality, extreme (Malaysian type), show type (American Serama- only a white variety at this time but there will be more) and the Original (the Traditional Serama) as they were when brought into the US.

What's not to Love about the Serama? There is one for every "TYPE" .......of us.

This is Gizmo my little Silkied Frizzle boy, he's almost 8 weeks old and I was wondering if anyone had any sugestions as to what color he'd be considered.

Welll Whitney, black with brown mottling??? haven't a clue but I really think CUTE should be considered a color....

I was so sad about Bill's losses too but never fear, I'm working on a nice pair in his favorite colors to send to him when I have them. I am getting a lot of eggs right now. I have shipped eggs and they had some hatch but it can be so tough when you pay for eggs and get nothing. I'll probably sell some hatching eggs here soon but only for pick up or if there is some sort of "egg train" we could put together for some of us to meet with eggs, and get them to the next person and so on.

In the meantime, I'm setting all I can. I just set 7 eggs out of my silver pen to take the place of some in the hatcher now. I have some Araucana eggs that should pip today sometime and hatch sometime tonight late or tomorrow.

Thanks Froggie. I want some of all type

Right now I have a black chick that could be a micro. I kind of hope not, I'd rather it be a decent sized A or small B but for now, it's just a cutie living in a gallon sized glass aquarium on the desk. It's old enough to show the new chicks, as they hatch, where to find food and water and not so large it's a bully. It will have to be a lot bigger to get to live in the garage in a heated brooder even. The chick that hatched a day after this one and it will stay on the desk till it has a suitable buddy to go to the garage with. For now, they're both table top buddies.

I Love my Traditionals best but eventually, I plan to have some American type (simply put, some that are approved varieties for ABA and APA). I figure it will be a while though. I hope to see black next up for approval and if I have any good enough, I think it would be fun to be part of that and have some blacks to help out. I have the third generation of blacks now with these 2 chicks. I have a new black rooster that will help a lot and with another couple of generations, if I have them even close to correct I'll be so happy.

I would love to eventually see some of the more extreme type. One of my black pullets is sort of but not mature yet so I'm just going to have to wait to see how she finishes.

My wish would be to see all of these varieties flourish........and take over the world
