The Birb King
Bird is the word
Okay, so 3 weeks ago a serama hen went broody and was sitting on 3 eggs. Since then, some other eggs were laid in the nest and some other hens went broody. When the first chick hatched, I put her and it in a seperate cage in the coop. The second chick hatched the next day, and when I put it in with her, she pecked at it a little bit, but otherwise seemed fine with it. Then last night the third hatched, and it was pure white, and I was really exited about it. I put it in with her this morning and she seemed fine, it went under her, then I went inside. But when I came out this afternoon, I saw the new chick lying on the floor, most of the skin gone from its head. I thought it was dead at first, but it was still alive! I put it in the incubator to warm up, and took the mom away from the other 2 chicks. Another broody hen is with the chicks now, but it might just be best to put them in a brooder. The injured one is doing slightly better, walking and it's eyes are open now, but is there something I should put on the injury? I was really exited for some naturally raised serama chicks, but it's s shame that's ruined now. I will most likely put the other 2 in a brooder so they are safe. This is what the injured one looks like
