STILL AVAILABLE AND NEED HOMES ASAP!
Hi! I have some cute and tiny Serama chicks for sale. I have boys and girls, but it's hard to distinguish between the two accurately right now. I have 12 chicks, but will probably keep 2 or 3. I hatched these myself from eggs from my two trios. They are...
I have serama hatching eggs. These eggs come from my two trios and are definitely fertile because I just hatched several myself. The babies are adorable!! I'm posting some pics of the possible moms and dads and can post some of the new babies if anyone is interested. These are by far not the...
I have a white bantam Easter Egger rooster who needs a good home. He's a small guy, but he's feisty. He needs some hens to run with. Has been housed with two other young roosters. He hatched in March or April. I am in Albertville, AL, but may be able to drive to meet someone if they want to...
I have a silkie mix chick who is 5 weeks old. He has been fine. He's in a cage with 7 tiny serama babies that are the same age. Today I noticed him lying on his side. I got him out and he can't walk. One of his legs is not working right. He is eating and drinking fine. Also, he was...
Ok, I set these eggs on Saturday, March 9 at 4:30 am. I know, weird time. I thought today is day 18. Am I correct? Well, I've marked air cells on day 14 and then just a minute ago. Some of the air cells haven't changed at all. A few have gotten a good bit larger. Most of these eggs are...
So i set 11 serama eggs and 2 silkie eggs at the same time. I have read that seramas hatch a little earlier than other chickens and lockdown should be earlier. So, when should I do lockdown? They are on day 14 right now.
I have a 4 or 5 week old Japanese bantam chick with subcutaneous emphysema . I have been releasing air from directly under the outermost layer of skin. But, he seems to have a lot if air trapped under the next layer down. Is it ok to puncture this layer also? If I shine a light on him I can...
Okay. They are not naturally ugly, lol. They are feather eaters and I have tried EVERYTHING to get them to stop. They are brown leghorns. I have eight pullets and 3 cockerels. They will be a year old in July. The hens are good layers, but look like they have leprosy or something. I know...
Hi folks! I haven't posted on here in a long time. But, Im seeking advice. I'm getting a 1 week old serama chick tomorrow. It's from a small incubator clutch an acquaintance hatched. I think she only ended up with 8 or so chicks. I originally requested only one chick. But, the more I think...
Hi. I have a small flock of hatchery silkies that have been sickish from the start. Well, not all of them. Four of them showed/ are showing symptoms of what I believe is Avian Encephamyolitis. Symptoms are neck/head vibrations, drunken walk/ stumbling, and general wobbliness. None have...
Ok, I didnt know where to post this, so I put it here. I have a gorgeous rooster who has the ugliest tail feathers due to being cooped up most of the time while we are building the big house and run. His tail feathers are all shredded looking. I think it's due to the roost being too close to...
Hi. I have some 3+ week old silkies on antibiotic (Duramycin ) for a respiratory issue. Only a few were showing symptoms but I decided to dose the whole bunch cause I figured they had all been exposed. I've also been giving them probios powder in their food and Polyvisol. A few of them are...
I have some 2week old silkies and 3 week old brown leghorns. I noticed the day before yesterday that 2 of the silkies seemed to have stuffy noses. The only symptom they were exhibiting was occasional mouth breathing (rare and mostly when eating) and sometimes a squeaky noise from there nose...
