Here's the link. Yes, I remembered that you bought one from them. That's why it caught my eye when I saw this thread. Seems like its recent problems.

Im sitting here with my roo, i was told his hatch date was Jan 24th so he is 2 today. Cant believe it, hes growing up to fast. I got him when he was 2 months old, hes my big baby. He should probably be sleeping but he stays up late with the family, lol.

Well, it looks like I have another NO hatch....

Argh... I dunno what it is, the eggs, or the incubator!!!

Bumming me out....

BUT my little "special" chick, the one I've been struggling with, is now 3 weeks old today ...

and my two that hatched last Monday are doing very well, so I will count my blessings, and just keep working on whatever is going wrong with my darn eggs.

I have a question for all of my fellow Serama peeps. I am new to breeding Serama but have studied everything I can find on them. What I can't find is
....if you have a absolutely beautiful Serama roo but he's bigger than standard....how can I breed his coloring and type to be smaller in size? I know that
they don't breed true to size....so I am gathering that by breeding him to a smaller hen of his same coloring (Gold duckwing) I may well get a smaller
version?

Bobby,
You need a chocolate split cockerel from me for some chocolate barred Serama's

I have my chocolate hens with my black rooster so all of the cockerels from this cross will be black and carry chocolate. Breeding a chocolate carrying rooster to a black hen will give 25% black pullets 25% black cockerels, 25% chocolate pullets and 25% chocolate cockerels.

I have 2 chocolate carrying boys now. T-Roo is proven to carry chocolate and now his son, Tiger has produced a chocolate chick when bred to his black hens. Plus my 3 chocolate hens are with my black rooster so I'm hoping to have enough chocolates hatched this year to make a breeding pen of chocolate to chocolate breedings. I have a silver duckwing rooster and I hope to make chocolate duckwings and then I have the 2 chocolate mottled pullets, one is my Frizzle.

Here are some chicks I hatched on the 22nd. I just moved them tonight to the large brooder in the garage. They were like kids at a playground!






The big chick laying down is an Araucana that just hatched
