Hatching with 2 broodies

[janus60]

Yay !!! successful fostering, she took the 24 hr olds last night.

Sorry some pics are blurred but she began to fuss and I wanted to get her settled again quickly


Hello, what's going on in here then, are you getting up ?






Daddy where's mummy !!!



Parental duties, here they are with two she hatched and two I hatched for them







Only 1 left to give her, hatched this morning and drying in brooder, how small it is





Just 3 eggs left but I don't think they are viable, no movement, full of chick when candled but did float
test and nothing ...no moving


size of the eggs are tiny

All serama but ages are days apart due to the staggered hatch

I also have two broody serama x dutch hens living with a serama cockerel and bringing up their 3 chicks

How adorable, thanks for all the pictures. They really are tiny arent they? Are you going to keep them all?

Last chick seen in the above pics has now joined its mum and dad,

all 5 babies doing well
I now have 5 pure serama and 3 serama with a bit of Dutch in them.. probably keep them all, and divided the males I don't want to breed pure amongst my pekin and Japanese young hens. I love little chickens and in the summer they can all free range together in one big flock

Is this one fertile?
The spot in the middle is irregular, but the bullseye is present.

If so, the responsible Auracana is not yet 12 weeks.
