My "Birthday Present" in action!

Calico Sizzles!!! (Tri-Colored)!!!! First hatch!

Eggs Due to Hatch on Thursday!!! 1st attempt incubating!

Well, we have more baby chicks due to hatch out on Thursday!!! So Exciting!!! We have one of our Buff Orpington hens laying on a nest of eggs(olive eggers, chocolate eggers, & blue eggs!)...and the ones that wouldn't fit under Mama hen went in my new incubator that Jim got me for my Birthday!!! So the plan is to see how many hatch out and give them all to Mama Hen (Wigglely as Ben calls her) to raise! I think all of our other sizzle chicks are sold from our last hatch!!! This is so much fun!

Toddlers...Seramas...& ...Diapers!

Here's a few pics of our little Serama Flock sportin their new chickie diapers! Thanks to a very sweet lady in Virginia who sewed these up for me...I no longer have to worry about chickie poo in my bakcyard with the boys!!! Sweet deal!!! Now the boys can enjoy their chickies & I can enjoy a poo free patio & yard for the boys! And the boys can in turn enjoy playing with their chickens!
Win Win!!!

Seramas in their New Chickie Diapers!

Mama hen earned some eggs tonight!

Jim got me an incubator for my Birthday and I quickly filled it up with eggs to hatch out!!!(LOL) Well, the eggs have been in the bator since 4-2 and in the meantime one of my Buff Orpington girls decided to "go broody"!!! Perfect timing! So I set her up in her own pen & nest box a few days ago and gave he fake eggs just to see how serious she was about this "wanting to be a Mama thing"...well she's FOR REAL!!! So tonight I took the fake eggs out and replaced them with half of the eggs that I had in my bator! Oh boy...she stuffed them right under her belly and snuggled down!!! So let the countdown begin!!! 10 more days ad we should have some new cheepers around here!!!

New Serama's !!!

I just decided to add four seramas to our chickie family! Ben named them...the rooster is who you see on the 1st big photo on this blog...his name is "Rainbow" and he has three hens..."Cloud", "Sunshine" and "Twinkling Star"!!! I just love it when kids name animals they are always way more creative than us!!! Anyway, here is a little background on Seramas:
Malaysian Seramas are one of the rarest breeds of chickens in the world and are the smallest chicken in the world!!!
They are VERY poular pets in Malaysia!

I got my four from http://www.pixiechickens.com

Here is a REALLY funny video of an indoor serama as a housepet!
