Post pics of him, I just love the color.

I have my first four eggs in the bator right now due in another week or so and have more waiting to go in. This is my first time hatching serama's, can't wait to see what comes out!!

I will try and get some pics when I get home from work if it isn't raining. AGAIN!
I have read a lot about you never no what colors you will get from the seramas but my roo is in with 3 hens that are all 3 different colors and almost all of the babies are coming out about the same color. I have only had 2 that don't look like the rest. Is this not normal or something?

I must have tried to take 50 pictures of that little roo and he moved in EVERY single one!!!!
I finally gave up and then remembered that I have a old picture of him that the lady I bought him from
sent to me. This is the picture of "the pullet" that I thought I was getting!! He is sooooo much frizzlier (is that a word! LOL!)
now.

This is one of all three of them and I don't no if you can see his color or not in it. I think it is to dark a picture. He is the one in the corner.

I have a hen that looks a lot like her to. I have a black hen that I breed to a red type roo and they always throw chicks like this it never fails. They have a bit of lacing to them. BUT...... when I breed their offspring to like mates or to each other you never know what I'll get......hummmmm. So somehow the genes at my house are as follows:

Black Hen

bred to red roo

produces these

But when these are bred together I get black white mottled, brown and whites, and just about anything except the red type. Very strange......

I've been out of town for a few days, and I'm trying to get caught up. I have found that certain pairings tend to be more fertile than others. I candle once a week, to get rid of clears or quitters and make room for more eggs, and there are some that do not suprise me when they have nothing in them. I do have a hen, though, that has suprised and impressed me in the opposite direction. Stella has lost her toes to frostbite/illness this past winter, and she has laid 10 eggs since recovering. They are my smallest eggs, but they were 100% fertile, and 9 out of 10 hatched! I used to think that the larger eggs had a better chance, but now I'm reconsidering that theory.

Julie,
nice birds, i love them! i didnt know you raised frizzles!

Hi Austin, thank you. And thank you Mrs Fluffy Puff. I don't raise the frizzleds. Or didn't, I should say. Not sure how far I'll go with this frizzled, will have to see how she types out when older. Austin, how are your silkieds doing? You should see those ugly youngsters I showed you earlier, they look nothing like they did then. I'm setting their eggs now.

My hen Amy hatched 7 out of 8 on her last clutch.
This Silkied, Little Blue here is the closest I've come to a solid color.

She's on 9 eggs now that are due to hatch on the 17th.
I don't know if any will hatch though. She had no male contact until I put her Silkied son Peanut with her after she layed the first egg.
Peanut had just turned 7 months at that time and although he is very frisky,
he so small and inexperienced, I don't know if he got the job done?
