New to Chickens with Serama -Chicks- *~7 Week Photo Update!*

[Chickenaddict]

One thing i learned after my first batch of serama babies is that there is NO way to tell how they are gonna finish out. I have had yellow chicks turn out really dark after a few months. The boys will have a more pronounced comb after just a few weeks then you will be able to tell for sure who is a pullet and who is a cockerel. They feather in really fast. They also begin to lay very young, at least mine did at 4-5 months old. I recently sold a trio to a teenager who is building up a flock of his own and the hen had laid her first egg before she was even 3 months old!!! You are gonna fall in love with this breed, I sure did and now i'm hopelessly addicted to seramas. I have even considered just sticking to that breed but then my big chunky cochin bantam comes up and sits on my lap and coo's at me which quickly changes my mind!

Congrats on your new babies, they are sooo adorable!!

Chicks 4 & 5 (both made it out overnight...so don't know who made it out first). The little brown is just about the cutest thing I've ever seen...and super sweet!!

Chick 6 looks just like chick 1

and last but not least...chick 7

Here's a shot of chick 1 all fluffed up!

And a group shot before 6 & 7............one of these things is not like the others!

Do I spy a duckie?

You do! I picked up 3 actually (just 1 in the photo)!

They are snowy call ducklings.... I see you found the thread about them...but for anyone else interested.... https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=184337​

so...I realized that 6 totally does NOT look just like 1! lol Anyway...here's some of 6 (who is striped!...1 is not!)

Here is a photo of my brooder (they will go into something larger when they get larger)...seems to be working well......I can't imagine the mess if I didn't have the water set up the way I do!

and a couple full group shots! I just love the little "red head!!"

All 7 chicks have looks all their own! I imagine that means they will all look different as adults...it will be hard to decide who to keep (only keeping 3-5)!
