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 because she was so completely bored. I had a hard time getting pictures of them together, but Diesel was really good!

“Are you my Mama?”

Just a little closer…

Closer…

Not that close!

“Mama!”

I give up.

Nemo was hatched from eggs I got from lingling on Eggbid. Diesel came from AHappyChick, a wonderful breeder on Backyard Chickens. I did a few GREAT trades for her eggs recently. The baby Serama (Honey Bee) is from ladybug4ut1, also on BYC, who sent me a lot of extras.

Serama Chick Comparison

Just to compare sizes, here are Diesel, who’s an Ameraucana/Maran cross at three days old, the black Serama Nemo (probably Nemette), who’s two and a half weeks old, and one of the new baby Seramas, yellow with brown stripes, one day old. I had a hard time getting pictures of them together: the little one kept skittering around trying to get underneath everyone, and Nemette kept wandering off because she bored. But Diesel was so good!

Showgirls Scheduled!

I’m actually guessing here, but these are the French Blue and Black Copper Maran, White and Lavender Silkie, and White Showgirl Silkie eggs I got for my mom. They’re eggs. They’ll hatch, feather out, and then we’ll know for sure.

The dark brown ones are Marans, but whether Blue or Black, I’ve no idea. Same goes for the Showgirls and Lavender (Self-blue) Silkies. AHappyChick from Backyard Chickens even threw in some pretty seafoam-colored eggs that will hatch out some “Easter Egg” chickens that will lay olive-colored eggs. We’re excited! They’re due November 19th.

Quietly waiting for the mat & screen. (Oops.)

More Marans & EEs, and of course, SGs!
