THE SWAP THREAD "FEBRUARY"

[jab91864]

It's not rocket science to figure out who you got and when you get your eggs to try to match them to someone on the thread. Its just a sin to admit you know...

any hatch 30% or better is good on shipped eggs. serama are the worlds smallest and friendliest chickens and quietest as far as i know. they r not suppost to get much bigger than a cockatiel, if they r the size of a sebright or larger they r not true malaysian seramas they are americanized or cross breed. true seramas r breed for type first, size then color there is over 2500 color possibilies so ya don't know what will pop out,lol. i have 5 hatched now with 5 more piped at the moment. i'll get pics of them here in a few for ya. waiting for 2 to finish drying.

i just got back from takeing some pics for ya will post them in my b/s/t post. it is windy and starting to snow so they didn't want to cooperate since it was cold and they knew it was feeding time. will post son as i upload.

bought them off of eggbid from a great seller. i bought 48 and he sent 60 and 51 where fertile and went to the hatcher. will send ya a link to one of his auction. last hatch i had from someone else was very hard lost 4 right before hatch and yes above info is correct. i tried it different this time and they seem to be zipping faster will explain that better soon too.

One of my swap eggs hatched today, but it has a bloody gob of goo hanging off of it (really making a mess of the bator), everyone keep your fingers crossed so the little critter will pull through.

The little guy didn't make it, it's insides were outside. On a happier note I have another pip from one of my other swap eggs, and from my 8 bantam cochin eggs from my girls, 4 have hatched, one poked it's beak out to say Hi (working on hatching the rest of the way right now

)
