The tiny serama; a Hatching adventure

Get those egg machines in gear girls!

hope you little serama ladies have been busy! Last day to crank one out!

OK you guys, it's midday here, and the results are in! The serama eggs are still nine. The girls laid three more eggs, but one of the new was severely cracked, and another severely porous. I took both out. At candling, I noticed an internal crack in one of the older eggs, so that got taken out as well. Unfortunate, but it is what it is. Hopefully all the remaining serama eggs hatch. From the Tsouloufates, we'll let's just say the number is nice. We've got 27 eggs! Two eggs out of the originally 299 had to be taken out (one was cracked and one was very misshapen). So the total number right now is 35!

To break down the number of Tsouloufati eggs even more, I'd like to add that about 10 of those eggs are mixes, laid from my brahma×aseel pullet (Big Red's daughter). Those eggs are half Tsouloufati, as the father is definitely one of my Tsouloufati boys. There is also a possibility that Cruella's adoptive daughter lays creme eggs (which would be a good thing, but it makes it very hard to tell apart her eggs from the mix breed eggs), although I haven't gotten a chance to be 100% sure yet. All those creme eggs will be set. If any turn out to be pure Tsouloufates (as would happen if Cruella's adoptive daughter is their mother), they will definitely be kept. If they turn out mixed, they won't be

This is a fabulous number, there should be lots of babies regardless of the breed!

Nope, mistake. They're eight. We had eight, put one in, took one out. They're eight. Math isn't my strong suit

Hopefully! Mostly, I hope that ALL serama eggs left hatch. If a couple of Tsouloufates don't, that's OK, I've got 27 eggs to fall back on. Even though I'd like to stay above 20 Tsouloufates from this hatch

Too much to ask for?

I don't think it's too much to ask, I think you will be knee deep in chickies!

Thank you both for the positive vibes !







OK here it is, you can pick your number, 1-27 for the Tsouloufates, and 1-8 for the serama!
