Serama Hatch-A-Long!!

[Fluffyserama]

You won't believe this, but I think I found a little silkied pullet for my guy. She is laying already! I can hardly believe it, she is from the breeder I got my original Serama eggs from. She has beautiful tiny birds!

what color is the hen?

what color is the hen?

Apparently she is white with silver/buff/black speckled... That would probably go with my dark Wheaton, don't you think?

Here she is... Apparently, she is already laying fertile eggs so if I get some eggs soon I will incubate them and see what I get!

I think they will make a pretty pair!

my eggs went out today! They are suppose to get here Friday

Thanks, I think they will go well together.

Good luck to your eggs... I wish them the safest of travels!!

As I look at my new little Silkie hen I notice she isn't as "silkied" as my little cockerel. I wonder what is up with that? Feather quality perhaps?

She laid her first egg today so that is sweet! I have little hen that just went broody too, so I am going to give her a few eggs from the silkied hen and see what hatches, at least they will be half silkied and unrelated to my roo.

My replacement eggs are on day 4... I can hardly wait to know what they are doing. My only developing egg from the original batch has quit... I really don't understand what is up with those eggs, it's crazy.

My new eggs are on day 7 today! It looks like I have 5 out of 6 developing, with one clear. Happy news! I am turning them twice a day or so now. I guess I was paranoid from the first set but they surely were old. Now I am excited... Less than two weeks to go. e

I am putting a couple of eggs from the new little hen under my broody today. I wanted to do it yesterday but thought that if I waited till today that I can slip tomorrow's egg under her too and they should hatch pretty close together.

I am reconfiguring a bunch of coops this fall and am excited. I have a couple quite small Roos in beautiful colors, mottled tri-color and black Crele, that are getting ladies.

I set my new eggs Friday night. the shipment only had 5 pure serama eggs, but they are all from silkied pens. The air cells on these are looking much better than previous eggs, but we'll see what develops.

Sweet, that is good to hear. Every batch can't get totally scrambled!

So out of the 5 pure serama 4 are showing veins
and 1 out of the 3 serama x EE eggs.

I'm getting more serama eggs Friday. The lady I got them from sent what she had last week, but ran short so she's sending more.
