Does anyone vaccinate their own chicks? Where can you get the meds in smaller quantities than 1000 - 5000 doses? I have had chickens on and off for most of my life but am very new at raising chicks. I now am raising seramas and didn't really give much thought about meds or vaccines because I...

Sorry, I thought the pic that Chickcrack posted was your bird. He has the most unusual single comb I think I've ever seen, very cool looking. But your bird is still not a serama

Absolutely not a serama, and the comb doesn't look like an OEB either. I can't tell you what he is but can sure tell you what he isn't.

My birds are from Mylasia and need the supplementary heat. I have taken a lot of care in how and where I placed the lamp. Thank you for your concern

By the way, I named it " Challet De Petite Poulette" Cottage for small chickens

The inside is pretty basic. The floor is open and there are 2 shelves about 10 in high on each side and 14 in wide, the center is open for heat and there is a 250 watt heat lamp that is thermostatically controlled hanging in the center. this is just the nesting box, they have a nice run in my...

Good morning Hokum coco, do you see the hinges right about the middle of the front? That whole section swings up and hooks to the top for access to clean and collect eggs

My first hatch, they are 2 days old now and doing great Mom and dads
