The tiny serama; a Hatching adventure

[Canadian Wind]

It’s very heart-warming to see any breed of chicken hatch, but the teeny Serama is EXTRA special, I think. After all, I had winter hatches, and that’s something I don’t like doing. BUT, I couldn’t deny the broody determination of 4 Serama girls… and my incubator! (Okay, I might be a little weak with trying to break their broodiness, and mine OBVIOUSLY! )

I've done the same with my OEGB. I don't know if I have the courage to do it again! Those little cockerels were LOUD!

It’s incredible how such tiny birds have such big vocal cords compared to their size! I think that the smaller the cockerel, the harder they try to crow as loud as they can!!

And their voices can be so high pitched!

Happy Independence Day, Fluffy! Anything special planned?

You must be so excited! Will you do a hatchalong?

Thank you, and not really!

I am! I was actually planning for this to be the hatch along, grow along, and all that stuff along thread!

I know the feeling, so hard to resist setting some eggs! No broodies for me yet, I'm actually getting quite worried, since Cruella has been laying for just over two weeks and she's yet to go broody!

This! Lady Gaga has such a high pitched crow, it doesn't travel, but it does pierce the eardrum. It's also pretty much constant, especially when he gets fired up

Happy Independence Day, Fluffy! Go Gaga and the girls!

Thank you!

There's a parade that passes in front of the parliament, and each family (or those that wish to celebrate) typically make fried cod with σκορδαλιά. I don't even know how to translate that last thing, but just know that it has a lot of garlic

So true. My Dutch cockerels had a high pitched voice too. Another rare breed (Naine de Tournaises) had a louder voice but less high pitched. The bantam RIR was just as loud but he had a much lower voice that was rather bearable. Even early mornings.

σκορδαλιά

Google translates skordaliá with garlic.
I certainly prefer fried fish with garlic over the US independent day dish (stuffed turkey).

Wil you count the eggs you are gathering now?
