Serama rooster with two tiny hens

[Blue]

Those OEGBs will definitely go broody. Out of the 3 hens I got last year, 2 went broody (at the same time). The other hen was lost a few weeks prior to that to a predator (she just disappeared while they were out free ranging), but I have no doubt that she would've joined in on the broody party if she'd still been around (she was my favorite of my OEGBs, too,

so no more free ranging the bantams unless I'm around in the yard at all times!)

How many eggs do would they cover? The eggs are really small.. and so are the hens.. the picture makes them look bigger.. id say the brown one is the smallest hen I ever saw.. she can walk on my hand.. i will have to get a better pic of her.. anyway.. how many eggs do the tiny hens lay before they sit? that is if they are laying a nest that they WANT to sit on...any way to encourage them?

I might would candle her eggs one night and thin them out a little bit if needed...another nest available is always nice..i've got about 12 seramas and they are hardy little guys here in the south and lay like crazy..I've got 10 eggs at day 14 and so far everyone looks good..i would'nt worry too much about your eggs as long as she can spread out she's going to sit...i call it egg yoga...sitting hen position everyone!...have fun...Robert

Hey Thank You Bantam..!!! i looked up red pyle oeg and that is exactly what they are... i would have never found out, so thank you very much.. i never had 3 chickens so tame..my serama was hand raised, and he is not as tame as the 2 hens...i am hoping to get babies..

Bantam...Yours are Beautiful !! I see a silver seabright in the picture... i had a silver male and 2 hens, one silver, one golden... the silver hen commited suicide one night, i found her with her neck broke, she was trying to get under the water pan or behind it.. (bad storm that night)... so I left the silver roo and golden hen together... long story short, before the silver hen died i took about 6 eggs and incubated... got 2 small chicks i think are seabrights, and hopefully can raise them as my golden hen got taken from the cage the other night by an opposum. ( i assume as i had seen one around at night) i cant figure out how it got her through the cage, it is 1x1 but gone she was... here are the babies I hatched the other day... im pretty sure they are from the seabrights... now i have just the one seabright roo in a cage alone, i was tempted to put the little white hen with him, but not going to as she is happy with her bunk mates... now i have to get another seabright hen... these babies show some rusty color so i assume they are roos... (silver male/golden hen).. was hoping to get a silver from the silver hen but no luck.. whats your guess on these?
