'Perfect Bantam' Breeding Project!

On February 8th, Ares died.
I was going out to check on the chickens after being away for a few days (a friend was taking care of them) and he was lying on the coop floor. I don't know what caused it; he was only a year old, and was perfectly fine last time I saw him.

For quite a while, I've tossed around this idea of crossing a sebright, d'uccle, OEGB, and serama together to create the "perfect bantam mutt". The results of this cross would be exactly 1/4 sebright, 1/4 d'uccle, 1/4 OEGB, and 1/4 serama. However, until today, I had only one of the chickens required to make this cross: a black breasted red old english game bantam. But, today, I just acquired two serama/d'uccle cockerels and a serama/d'uccle pullet! Of course, it will still be a long time before my project is completed, mainly because I currently have the room for maybe two more chickens, at the most. I also have been having trouble finding a silver sebright hen, which I would need to cross to my black breasted red OEGB rooster. So, for now, I'll just share pictures of my serama/d'uccles as they grow, as well as my OEGB rooster. I am sure that I will eventually have the means to complete this project, and when I do, I will definitely post lots of pictures of my "perfect bantam" cross!


I want to know when I turn the eggs from startup incubator ?

No, only when I first introduced them. Even then, it was only a short fight, and neither one was injured.

I'm sorry, but I'm not very experienced in incubation. Though in the photo it looks like your chicks are pipping.
