My four newbs, my first Seramas ever! They were just hatched this morning, and I have several more who have pipped. They are still not fluffed out completely, but I think they are awfully pretty

This one is much darker in person..more black...the window light washed it out a bit

I love this ones face! Such a little sweetie!

A bit blurry because this little one kept trying to run off. It is marked in a dark "chipmunk" pattern...and I think it was giving me baby stink-eye

This is the newest...any idea what this color pattern might turn out to be? Is this a mottled?

or wheaton roo, they have that stripe on shoulder too

muahhaaaa another one hooked on serama i now have 4 generations and currently 50 or so chicks of various ages. we started with 2 silkied and the rest is history

Everyone seem to love that color and tells me how hard it is to make one ... Funny thing was when I got started on this cocoapop project I Only had two birds . Both rooster one was silver and the other was gold... We didnt even have a hen . I had to make my own cause Jerry never sold me a cocoapop hen ... After breeding some and selling some birds I then got my hands on other color . But none were as nice of the pattern of the cocoapop / Cocoapatton . So I set out on making them breed more then one the next thin I know we made more the 4-5 in a clutch now ....




then I went one more step by calling them at a day old and have been proven right every time . I have now did even better then that gave some eggs to Jacob to hatch and call out their chick-down and still It is what I said cause he has updated the birds and will continue to better the breed in every way .

too bad chicken eggs arent like reptile where the temperature decides the sex..... i'm being called the hen hoarder (my granddaughter is the chick hoarder)

copy paste worked to upload pict!! this frizzle hen is a great brooder - she will watch the other hens and if anyone is not paying attention she will steal their chicks too, here she hatched 4 serama (dont critique her she's an old retired show bird)

Hehehehe I think they could very easily become an addiction. These little guys run right up to my hand when I put it in the brooder...they are so sweet and friendly already!

forgot to said congrats on your hatch .....

Thanks so much! These are the most adorable babies ever! I ended up with seven in the end...will post new pics after work

that is awesome .. I keep birds that I dont breed for this reason to baby sit and watch other clutch and free up the other hen to lay again ...

What a wonderful sight ....

So the 9 Serama eggs I ordered came in this morning and none were broken or cracked and the air cells look good. I checked the 4 Serama eggs under my broody (they are due tomorrow) and I have 2 pips and 1 that I think has enternally pipped.

I can't wait to see what they look like! Just thought I would share with someone lol.


How common is it for a Serama to pip but not hatch? Is it about as common as with regular chickens, or do they have a harder time zipping and hatching then other chickens. I'm worried and contemplating bringing them in to the incubator so I can help if I need to. Maybe I'm just worrying to much. haha

congrats! on babies. when i first started i was a worrywort and would fawn over those eggs - some would make it some wouldnt - i try not to help eggs unless i can hear chick screeching inside - it's hard especially with the incubator eggs but best bet is to let mama take care of it, she will help if she hears screeching too
