The tiny serama; a Hatching adventure

My fat Orpington could hatch a grocery store egg aisle, and I’d be none the wiser,

Don’t want to start again with another, I’m too old…

Please, never feel too old ever to do foolish things. (This is not about your husband)

If you can buy Demeter eggs, chances are good they are fertile. I wouldn’t try any other grocery store eggs.

I just meant her butt was big enough to cover a grocery store aisle

The time has arrived, and you don't know how happy I am! Lady Gaga is back in with his serama girls!



I watched them carefully until I made sure he bred all of them, to avoid any potential discrimination when it comes to which girl gets to feed.



The plan is this: wait 2 more weeks for them to settle into a routine, have many successful matings, and give some more time for the girls to really up their laying game, after a winter of not laying anything. Then, for ten days I will be collecting eggs. Hopefully we reach at least 20 eggs, but my guess is around 15 or less (oh well, the pain of only having three serama pullets). That should bring us to about the middle of the first week of April, at which point I'll be setting eggs in my incubator, lovingly called Electric Lady. That's about it!

How exciting!! I’ll definitely be watching!
I hope they lay more than 15. I’ll be cheering them on (along with a few of my hens)! I’m excited that I will finally start getting more eggs again.
Thanks for the tag!

I too hope for more than 15 eggs. Right now, the weekly egg numbers just aren't enough for me to say that's possible. They've also got a bad habit of laying on the ground of their pen. The first, and very last group that'll do this. I'll be doing my usual system of placing nest boxes way earlier than needed
