EE Serama Project

The last one looks like the mom. I ran out and took pictures of the pair...Here ya go.

So not surprising that they are blue with gold.... It will be fun to see what they look like grown up. The PO has been rough on your eggs. We should get some more to you.....

So what will be the plan with these? Breed them back to Seramas? Since they are out of blue eggs, they will have the gene..right?

Such a pretty mom! Seeing her gives me hope the second chick may be a girl, but watching the older one interact with the others is really making me think roo. 'He' completely dominates the bigger silkies he's with.

Serama attitude alright! If you breed him to a Serama hen, would the babies result in blue egg layers? Do you think?

Both have pea combs so I'm hoping they both have the gene for blue from mom.
I'm having such bad luck hatching the silkies I decided to pick up a silkied serama pullet from someone about an hour away either this weekend or next. "If" these chicks are both girls I'll be looking for a silkied roo. More of the cross eggs are very tempting I seem to be having better luck with them than the pure breeds.

My ultimate goal is a blue egg layer the size of a serama with silkied feathers and a pea comb.

50% chance, Although hopefully most will have the blue gene linked to pea comb so you can tell who has a greater likely hood of being a carrier even before they start to lay

When do you want to send them?

I'll let you know when I have a few of the EE cross again. Unless you want just bantam EE and pure Serama eggs... I have those all the time. I want to send some to Shatir also.

I'm having 'some' luck with the cross eggs. I'm also liking the blue coming in on the younger chick. I keep waffling back and forth about not trying to hatch silkied or doubling my order.
