Serama chickens/hatching
« on: February 08, 2010, 14:12 »
Hi...

Can anyone shed any light on Serama chooks and why i have heard that they are hard to incubate :)

I would love to have some and am trying to decide whether to buy eggs or chooks :)

I hatch other types of poultry, but am not sure how these are different.

Also are there any  forum members that have seramas??

Thanks for any answers :)

I love Pekins, Polands and Seramas :) and eggs!!!

According to the book "An Introduction to the Serama Bantam" by Carrie Wright, serama embryo's are extremley fragile and susceptible to changes in temp etc.

Ps I have some in the incubator at the moment!

Oooh Lucky You :) :)  I am about to hatch a batch of silkies , which are my favourite.... but after that.... Serama here I come :)  I have been given four little chicks by a very kind and generous fellow chook keeper.... and am hooked already :)

Just ordered a new bator too... my old polyhatch is letting me down temperature wise :(
