The tiny serama; a Hatching adventure

[BDutch]

Good luck !

Thank you’ll for all amazing pictures and sharing your thoughts.

How adorable, so sweet! I bet they don't like wash days! No chicken I've met does!

I never tried washing my chickens. But they have always access to a dry dustbath area (with DE).

Is there a Tsouloufates egg with the name Tzatziki? Or Tiropita?
Or do you rather give them names of the Greek gods or mythology?

Positively.....absolutely....
ADORABLE!

Awwww … thank you so much @TwoCrows! Adorable, even when dirty!

4 and 5 from the serama eggs, and 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27 from the Tsouloufates

The theme for the serama is popular singers, and the theme for the Tsouloufates is Easter related/ Greekish

I will take number 13 and name it.......Apollymi! She is the goddess of life, death, and wisdom!

For me, a quick wash-up isn’t too bad.

1. Place the tiny chicken in a bin of warm water, with a little pet shampoo.
2. Gently work the dirt off.
3. Place the tiny chicken into a bin of clean water and rinse.
4. Towel-dry.
5. Let the tiny chicken spend the night in a warm crate in the utility room.

Since I have a lot of booted bantams (who also love getting dirty), I’m accustomed to the bathtime routine.

Oh. And number 4 if no one else wants it. I can name it Queen (you can always name it Freddie Mercury if a boy )

I only bathe mine if they get poop on em. I don't have teeny tiny babies. All my girls are medium or large size atm. I won't have teenies until hatchday this Tuesday!

Like you, my LF are bathed ONLY if they’re a total mess. And, that can be a challenge sometimes! If you encounter that with your Seramas, they’re SO MUCH EASIER to bathe.

HATCH DAY is fast approaching! Go Pride! Go Sloth!

Right?! They are already too dark for me to see in the shell. I checked today to make sure.

Thank you, glad you enjoyed those!

I've never intentionally washed one of my birds. Years ago when I had white leghorns, they sometimes got pretty dirty. They'd get in the way of the hose, and then scream about it. At least they got clean. Ursula loves water, and stays in the rain. What she HATES, is the aftermath. A silkied hen doesn't do too well with all that water. Wet chicken has a very funky smell too



None of the eggs from the Tsouloufates have the names you mentioned! I find those names to be perfect! Which number Tsouloufati egg would you like?

Perfect! You've got a lovely brahma mix, or Cruella daughter egg (father for all the LF eggs is my pure Tsouloufati rooster Kolovos, or his pure Tsouloufati son)
