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. My Serama and Porcelain d’Uccle eggs from Mary Robbins should be here by tomorrow, [.[...]

Serama Chick Comparison Pictures
Here are Diesel, who’s an Ameraucana/Maran cross at three days old, Serama Nemo (Nemette), who’s two and a half weeks old, and Honey Bee, one of the new baby Seramas, at one day old. The little one kept skittering around trying to get underneath everyone, and Nemette kept wandering off[...]
