The tiny serama; a Hatching adventure

[fluffycrow]

That could be why. I guess I'll have to

Based on my experience with ducks, I wonder if it's just because they're messy beasts and if you held out for clean eggs to incubate, you'd never have eggs to set at all. Duck eggs also have more of a waxy-feeling exterior on their shells than chicken eggs, so maybe they're just more resistant to dirt and germs than chicken eggs because of that?

decide how many eggs to set when I wash them all. If they're stained in any way, I'll not use them for hatching. Hoping the girls will not be dumb about where they lay their eggs; at least for ten days!

Eek! So adorable! I remember this wonderful girl, looks like she's being an amazing mum! A young mum too! She's raising some cuties

Thank you! She amazes me. She was just a chick herself not long ago.

She's amazed me as well! Sounds like she's your special girl

Yes, she IS my special girl. I raised her as a lone chick (so, that means I’ve spoiled her rotten), and she’s always followed me everywhere. Now, she still follows me but at a slower pace. She stops to show the chicks things. It’s really cute.

She sounds like a really amazing bird. Her chicks aren't very afraid of you, I gather

I handle them every day, so maybe they might like me a wee bit!

You'll get very tame babies this way, they'll be surr to follow in mum's footsteps!

You guys, the stuff I ordered arrived! I'm so excited! The bands do seem to be a little bit bigger, but that's not a huge issue. I still can't believe how close we're getting, 5 more days till egg collection!

I’m really excited for you! I can almost hear those teeny Greek chicklets peeping already!

I’m looking forward to that! It will be wonderful! I love that Seramas are such sweet, lovely tiny birds.
