24 TINY MALAYSIAN SERAMA BANTAM CHICKEN HATCHING EGGS

THIS AUCTION IS FOR 24 MALAYSIAN SERAMA HATCHING EGGS.  PLEASE SEE ALL OF THE PICS!  THESE TINY BEAUTIES ARE SO MUCH FUN TO RAISE, THEY LOVE PEOPLE, AND FOLLOW YOU AROUND LIKE PUPPIES!  THE CHICKS ARE SO TINY THAT THEY WILL SCARE YOU A LITTLE WHEN THEY FIRST HATCH, BUT THEY ARE VERY HARDY, STURDY LITTLE CHICKENS.  THESE ARE THE TRUE MALAYSIAN STRAIN, AND HATCH IN 19 DAYS.  STOP TURNING IN 16 DAYS.  WE SET OUR INCUBATOR AT 100.5 AT THE TOP OF THE EGGS, AND THE HATCHER IS ABOUT THE SAME.  HUMIDITY SHOULD BE ABOUT 50 TO 60 PERCENT IN THE INCUBATOR, EXCEPT FOR THE LAST THREE DAYS, WHEN WE RAISE IT TO ABOUT 80 TO 85 PERCENT.  WE HAVE BEEN HAVING TERRIFIC HATCHES WITH THESE SETTINGS. IF YOU DID NOT GET A HYGROMETER WITH YOUR INCUBATOR WE SUGGEST THAT YOU BUY ONE. THERE ARE ALWAYS SOME LISTED ON EBAY.

WE HAVE GONE INTO PARTNERSHIP WITH JO'S SERAMAS, ANOTHER FARM IN OUR AREA AND THE PLACE WHERE WE GOT OUR START-UP FLOCK. WE ARE NOW AUCTIONING OFF EGGS FROM BOTH FARMS SO ALWAYS HAVE PLENTY OF EGGS!!

WE HAVE INCLUDED A PICTURE OF SOME OF THE BABIES WE HAVE HATCHED FROM THE SAME PARENTS AS THESE EGGS WILL COME FROM. EXCUSE THE GOLDISH CAST, THE PICS WERE TAKEN WITH ARTIFICIAL LIGHT. THE LIGHTER SHADE IS REALLY WHITE. WE HAVE ALSO INCLUDED A PICTURE OF A FEW OF THESE SAME BABIES AT ABOUT 7 WEEKS, AND ONE NEWLY HATCHED CUTIE.

PLEASE NOTE: BECAUSE THESE CHICKS ARE SO TINY, THEY CANNOT EAT REGULAR CHICK STARTER. IT MUST BE RUN THROUGH A HANDI-CHOPPER OR BLENDER FOR ABOUT THE FIRST 2 WEEKS OR SO. THEY SHOULD BE FED GAME BIRD STARTER FOR THE HIGHER PROTEIN LEVEL BUT IF YOU CANNOT GET THAT WHERE YOU LIVE, A SCRAMBLED AND MICROWAVED EGG EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS WILL DO.  ALSO, BECAUSE THE MOTHER HEN IS NOT THERE TO TEACH THEM, YOU SHOULD PUT EACH ONES BEAK IN THE WATER AND FOOD AS SOON AS THEY ARE DRY AND IN THE BROODER.

A FEW OF THE ROOS ARE BOOTED SERAMAS, AND THEY THROW A LOT OF FOOT FEATHERING, SO YOU MAY GET SOME OF THESE, ALSO. YOU MIGHT GET A FEW SILKIE SERAMAS, AS SEVERAL PAIRS  CARRY THE SILKIE GENE.

PAYMENT FOR THIS AUCTION MUST BE RECEIVED AT AUCTION CLOSE SO THAT WE CAN PLAN EACH WEEKS SHIPMENTS. THIS LISTING IS SCHEDULED TO BE SHIPPED THE WEEK OF MONDAY, 11-9-09.

WE ONLY COMBINE SHIPMENTS ON EGGS UP TO 24 IN THE BOX BECAUSE ANY MORE THAN THAT DOESN'T LEAVE ENOUGH ROOM FOR SUFFICIENT PACKING TO PROTECT THE EGGS. BESIDES, WE WOULDN'T WANT TO LOSE MORE THAN 2 DOZEN EGGS AT ONE TIME IF THE POST OFFICE IS CARELESS!

WE CANNOT GUARANTEE YOUR HATCH, AS WE CANNOT CONTROL THE USPS, BUT WE HAVE VERY GOOD HATCHES FROM THESE PARENTS HERE! WE WRAP EACH EGG IN SOFT BATHROOM TISSUE OR SOFT PAPER TOWELS (NOT BUBBLE WRAP!), PUT THEM IN BRAND NEW PAPER PULP EGG CARTONS AND PACK THE VERY LARGE BOX WITH CRUMPLED PAPER TO PROTECT THEM. 

WE DO LIKE TO HEAR FROM OUR BUYERS AS TO WHAT SORT OF LUCK THEY HAVE HAD, SO FEEL FREE TO EMAIL US AT LKRILEY337@HOTMAIL.COM.
