I have been hatching eggs from my Serama breeding pairs for the past two years. This year the colours started changing in a few of the chicks and I got one with feathered legs. Can genetics change over time? Anyone else with Seramas ever have this happen? My birds are all clean legged and this was t...

The same thing happened to one of my serama roosters except I found him on his side. He was the most active of my little guys with no indication of illness or injury. Sorry for your loss.

cochin x Brahma bantam ???
My mystery men! Now have to decide which hens to put in with them since they have been by themselves since birth. I have Brahma bantams and OEGB. My seremas are too small.

My incubator has it built it. Otherwise I have a bright led flashlight from the dollar store that works awesome.

The feathering look like Cochin for sure but the comb baffles me. Out of a dozen hatching eggs I got these two guys. They said they were from porcelain Belgium d’Uccle. The combs don’t match tho.

I usually candle at day 7 to keep my incubators full and take out the ones that didn’t start. I never get tired of seeing the embryo growing even years later

Baby chicks no matter the breed are always cute!

Pink skin 4 toes. I thought Cochin but they have the wrong combs. Wrong feathers and skin got silkies. Wrong comb for d’Uccle.

Thanks 3 years later and I still have about 100 chickens

I’m going out to check but I’m pretty sure 4 toes fully feathered legs. They were the only two hatched from DC heritage poultry from a surprise dozen and were supposed to be Belgium d’Uccle but don’t have the same combs
