Y’all!!!! I could not be more happy right now. After a long soaking, massaging, oil, over and over and over and over…. Poor baby…. She kept pushing, pushing, pushing… a little blood was coming out. The egg FINALLY passed. Thank God!!!! I am so happy!!!! I really don’t know how long she had been...

No gunk that I can see, I am starting to think she is egg bound. I think I can feel it. Soaking her now 💔💔💔💔

After close examination…. I think this is exactly what the problem is!!!! Help me please!!! I hope I’m not too late!!! She is currently soaking in warm steamy bath with a little epsom salt. Going to massage her abdomen a little bit. What else can I do for her ?!?! 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 I don’t want to...

Would also like to mention, I give her a higher protein feed bc I also have a couple silkies. She hasn’t had any issues with this before. Not that I have noticed anyway.

Hello all, went to check the birds this morning and my poor little serama slowly walked up to me this morning. She looked cold and pathetic. Shivering. Over all lethargic. She feels a bit lighter than normal. Her comb and wattles are red still. I brought her inside to warm up on the heating...

Nothing 😣 she went broody on me and sadly, the rooster was just too big for her. In happier news, I think I found an Old English chick to give her. She’s been sitting on one little egg for a while now. Fingers crossed that she will adopt the new chick!

Absolutely! I’ll do that when I get off work tomorrow! Yeah, I mean I think he’s pretty standard size for silkie bantam, just so large compared to my serama hen. By some of these comments though, I think it could potentially work out. I’ll update tomorrow!

I think I might have messed up some of my replys, forgive me. Still new to the forum! But thank you all for the info and great responses!! This is an awesome platform.

He is big for a silkie! But a handsome boy!! I am going to do some bucket comparisons tomorrow. I haven’t weighed him either but my best guess is around 2lbs.

I think that’s a good point. I will have to do a some bucket comparisons with my boy and show you. I really don’t think he’s more than two lbs. He’s really a sweet guy. My serama will squat for him (and me lol) but she’s still so new at it, perhaps it scared her a little. They get along great...

Hmmmm 🤔 perhaps it COULD work? I might give it another try!

Thank you all for the reply. My roo is no bigger than 2-3 lbs (pet quality obviously lol) so it’s absolutely possible he has something else in his genetics to make him larger. He’s my only sweet and gentle rooster and was just hoping she could have a partner. However, I have a feeling that you...

North America, more specifically Louisiana. I thought both silkie and seramas were both bantam as well. But this serama hen is particularly small. I wasn’t sure if it would work or not.

She’s quite small 😣
