25-day-old Serama Chick and More Eggs on the Way

This is Honey Bee at three and a half weeks old, poking around in my herb garden. It’s hard to tell exactly how big she is here, but I’d say not very. She’s about the size of a standard-sized day-old chick. HoneyBee25days

My Serama and Porcelain d’Uccle eggs from Mary Robbins should be here by tomorrow, and Susan (AHappyChick on BYC) sent me a message yesterday letting me know that 30+ eggs are on their way. Lavender silkies, white silkies, some French Black Copper Marans, and finally, the elusive Araucanas!

I’ll probably do a split hatch in the one large incubator, but if there’s not enough room I’ll bust out the smaller one and use that exclusively for the Seramas. I think. We’ll see when they get here. I absolutely cannot wait, I swear, it’s like Christmas morning when they hatch: you think you know what you’re getting, but you’re never sure, and besides, it’s so much better to actually see them, than just know they’re in there.
