2026 Seramas

In April 2026 I decided it was time to use the incubators, so I bought a dozen Serama eggs and popped them in.  Eight hatched and now they're part of the family.  Serama babies are so unique, colorful, and just different.

April 30 2026    Serama hatching eggs into the incubators

May 20 2026     Serama babies hatched (exactly 20 days)

- Pip was the first to pop out at 11:00 am, and the rest followed one by one throughout the day.  Just amazing little tiny babies!

May 22 2026    Pip, Zip and their brothers and sisters were moved out of the incubator into a sterilite container with heating pad and brooder plate ("mama hen") 

 Jun 17 2026    The 8 seramas called "The Tinies" are living in a cage on the screened in porch during the day and a large sterilite box during the night.  

My next job is to be on alert, identify roosters, and put each one on Craigslist to find a new home.  We'd love to keep every one but WE HAVE TOO MANY ROOSTERS :D

Roger the Serama Rooster

I love all of our Serama chickens (all 3 that are currently out and about and more to come from the June 2026 hatch).  But the most spectacular is Roger the Serama Rooster.

Every one of the chickens is gorgeous and wonderful and filled with personality, but Roger is just very special.  He somehow pretends he's not a rooster and navigates through a chicken society with lines of demarcation between over 10 roosters and no one gets upset at him.  The other roosters will fight each other and draw blood, but Roger just zooms around and stays out of trouble.  He "visits" each of the "short girls" (all bantam hens) and just keeps the place lively and colorful.

Roger was born December 25, 2024.  He lives in a small Formex house with his 2 sisters Creamy and Dreamy and with the Silkie hen Bev (don't ask).
