    The tiny serama; a Hatching adventure

    @WoDia Oh, congratulations! I did not notice that you are a Spirit now! You deserve it!

    The tiny serama; a Hatching adventure

    You are welcome! I believe that roosters who sacrifice themselves for their hens are worthy of great honor. Someone has to be really brave to do something like that. You have already seen Jasper and heard about him, right? He is that Old English Game Bantam/Dutch Bantam rooster I have. He hates...

    The tiny serama; a Hatching adventure

    I am so sorry! :hugs Lady Gaga was the first chicken I heard about you having. I always try to keep one male with every flock as well, they are really great protectors. Hopefully one of your chicks will be a male, but we all know he could never fill in the exact spot that Lady Gaga had!

    Wait, what? I just got this notification! Fluffy, I had no idea Lady Gaga passed away! I am sorry, what happened?

    The tiny serama; a Hatching adventure

    My Orpington/Wyandotte mix (at least that is what she looks like) hen, Mumble, always starts brooding at the hottest part of the year. Something about 115 degrees Fahrenheit seems good for brooding, I guess. 🙄

    Oh, good! Maybe these chicks will be all pullets!

    Go, Foureira! Hatch some eggs! :jumpy What breed is she?

    The tiny serama; a Hatching adventure

    Yes! People get it confused a lot and think that it means the temperature changes the gender. No, it just kills off one of the genders and leaves the rest.

    The tiny serama; a Hatching adventure

    This is halfway true! Because of how gender is decided right after the fertilization of the egg, the gender cannot changed, so the temperature does not actually change their gender. The temperature only kills off more of the females/males (depending on the temperature) because female and male...

    For me, I have no care whether the egg is fertilized or not. No chick is living inside of there as long as you do not incubate it or it is not exposed to enough heat outside. Samsung Keyboard, I did not want you to record audio. I am just trying to reply to 2ndTink.

    The tiny serama; a Hatching adventure

    You are bringing back memories from my math lessons. "We have certain, likely, equally as likely as not, unlikely and impossible. If you can only spin purple on a color wheel, what is the probability that the outcome will be orange?" :barnie When the egg gets fertilized, the gender is decided...

    The tiny serama; a Hatching adventure

    If some hens produce more males and some hens produce more females, then that would make it genetic, correct? If I am right, then that means you could possibly breed chickens (or any other bird) to have a heavy chance of producing female chicks instead of male chicks. You could make a breed of...

    In that case, all of Fluffy's Serama hens' eggs may happen to lean on the male side when they are fertilized. Not Lady Gaga's fault, but the hens.

    The tiny serama; a Hatching adventure

    I loved seeing the updates about them and following along! For as long as I have known about landraces, I have wanted to get chickens that would maybe be good for tolerating our climate and let them breed and raise their own chicks just to see how the land here would shape a landrace. But I...

    Are you going to be breeding the Tsouloufates (if I spelled that right) or something else?

    How is everything going? What is going to happen to this thread now that the Serama chicks are gone, by the way?

    @fluffycrow I did not notice you have the BYC Spirit badge now! Congratulations!

    The tiny serama; a Hatching adventure

    I hope you are doing good! That is great! I hope they have happy lives! All of the Seramas look great, but Slick has the best carriage of them all! I love his upright tail and downward-pointing wings. I see his face is getting really red at an early age. It reminds me of one of my cockerels...

    The tiny serama; a Hatching adventure

    I was confused back when I first started seeing you talk about Lady Gaga, I thought he was a hen at first but then you mentioned he was a rooster. I have also had female names for my males on accident and kept the names. Did you hatch Lady Gaga? How did he end up with his name?
