I haven't run into any troubles so far with their setup and they seem to be happy and healthy. They are friendly when played with and look forward to going back into their cages when they're done. I just want something to help with the droppings everywhere. It's a nice setup but I'm really...

Hello Everyone, As some of you may remember, I have two tiny Serama chickens (whom I love dearly) and I am now looking to get them both a pair of pants/diapers. It turns out that cleaning chicken crap off the floor isn't all it's cracked up to be :p. I have briefly searched this topic on...

Thank you for the info, I switched the bird to a lower protein diet (24% to 18%). I wasn't offended. The only thing that offends me with regards to OCD is when people refuse to acknowledge it as a real mental illness or try and talk me out of it like it's just something I can turn on and off...

It seems the hen only sneezes when I bring her to my couch. I'm starting to suspect she might just be allergic to our dog Cher or something else upstairs. Otherwise she seems fine. I am going to just continue to keep an eye on her. Thank you all so much! Eric

I cut down your message to save space. I understand you mean well and I'm not angry at you or anything so don't worry. I appreciate your replies and I was a bit aggravated at the time. I've purchased and owned many birds in the past few years and I've gotten more sick ones right off the bat than...

Thank you all for the replies, I will be giving a more in-depth reply soon but tonight I have to hit the hay in a minute or so. There is no bedding, the pine shavings were added after the sneezing was already observed. I also haven't used the PDZ powder yet. I didn't notice anything wrong...

Hello Everyone, I recently purchased a pair of Serama chickens and both seem healthy other than the hens peculiar mucus related issues. Last night I noticed when I picked her up that she had two small streams of clear liquid coming out of her nose. At first I thought she had just dunked her...

Thanks! I'm sure someday you can have an indoor chicken of your own. ;) Good point, I've heard of them but more research will have to be done. So far they've been pretty good about keeping things orderly. I'm crossing my fingers that it stays that way. Thanks! Thanks! You're definitely...

My friend said a sneeze isn't necessary a guarantee of anything, I will continue to monitor the situation. Both birds came from the same guy, they're not sharing the same food or water as the other birds so it's a form of quarantine. Not as ideal as a separate room but we'll see how it goes...

I will hopefully post pictures tomorrow evening. I just noticed the hen sneezed and snot/liquid came out. My assumption is respiratory? She has a sleepy disposition but then again it is 7:47 PM. She otherwise appears healthy but I am not a chicken expert. Should I treat her with Doxycycline and...

Oh and I forgot, I bought the PDZ Horse Stall Freshener powdered form, is the powdered form safe for all birds (pigeons too)? I was thinking of sprinkle a little on the trays. Thanks, Eric

There are no limits the cruelty of mankind, it is certainly more prevalent when those actions aren't illegal and the victims can't call for help. To clarify, no one purchases a wrong colored bird intentionally and then kills it for being the wrong color. They purchase birds that they find have...

Hello everyone, I don't have time to read the posts I've received since my last response because I'm about to head out but I just wanted to add a fast update. I went back to the store after contacting my chicken friend / skimming a few posts and traded the egg layer for a starter/grower bag. I...

Due to the birds extremely small size, by comparison to it's little feet, the gauge is pretty thick, it isn't pictured because it hasn't been implemented yet. The droppings from this bird are roughly the same size as that of my pigeons, sometimes smaller. Pigeons range in size tremendously, some...

Thank you all so much for the replies, I will be stopping by the store tomorrow morning and picking some stuff up. What is an ideal protein percentage for their pellets? The crumbles I'm using is at 24%. For those recommending me get him a buddy, that is 100% the plan. The guy I purchased him...

What is PDZ? I intend to add a hen, what is the best way to do that? Ideally the hen will be brooding her own eggs but I was advised to just remove her when the time comes and set her up in a large sterilite tub so the rooster doesn't attack them. I only have one friend who keeps chickens which...

That's awesome, the guy I purchased him from only had two roosters and I figured having two roosters would certainly result in fighting so I only purchased him. I figured the oyster shells would be only for the hen, for egg laying purposes. Do you think the cage is big enough? It's hard to take...

Right now he's on Manna Pro Gamebird/Showbird feed. I intend to get pellets to mix into it this Saturday. I only have had him since Sunday. I don't use diapers, I just keep an eye on him and collect anything he drops immediately. So far it's for roughly 15-20 mins a day that I've been able to...

(If this question is in the wrong section please move it to a better one if possible) Hello, I recently purchased a Serama Chicken and he's awesome but the smell of his droppings is stinking up the whole house. How do I control the smell? I keep and breed pigeons and have most of them indoors...

The pigeons would not be able to successfully raise the dove and even if they managed to pull it off (extremely unlikely) the dove would not be able to keep up with the flock nor have the ability to survive among-st them. I don't recommend trying this as the doves involved will likely die...
