I'm NPIP certified and AI clean for many years since I started my Serama flock. For the past 10 days, I have lost at least a bird a day and sometimes more. Today, I lost 4 and range from 7 months to 2 years old. For the past 3 years, I can count on one hand of how many birds that may have had a...
This is the second post for my Serama hen with egg stuck and still needing help for her. If I don't do something soon, I'm afraid I'll lose her. She's always had trouble laying eggs, because of her tiny body and with one of her hip/leg deformities. I have given her warm salt baths putting...
Please help me save my Serama hen with cracked egg inside her. She's very tiny 2 year old and always has trouble with laying her eggs, but this time it broke inside her. I have her in a quiet dark room with water and her calcium mealworms. I did a soapy warm water bath and tried with my finger...
I have a Serama pullet that just started laying and noticed what looks like vent gleet. I've been treating her for the gleet with warm soapy baths, sterilized water injections in her vent. Also, she's on metronidazole for 2 days now. Today, it looks like there's a egg that is crushed in her...
I have a Serama hen that just raised 5 babies and when I moved them to their new coop,I noticed she was having trouble pooping and then saw this. I've been giving her warm Epsom salt baths but no relief. She will poop a little after that and feel a little better, but I've never seen this before...
I just had to help one of my Serama babies out of shell. This morning all the other eggs hatched and one was pipped but in distress. So, I started to see if it might be stuck and as I started from the pip area, blood started coming out so I left it for about 4 hours or so. I started again and...
I found one of my hens yesterday hiding in the corner and when I picked her up, she was lethargic and not steady on her feet. So, I put her in a cage and today she's the same. She's been everything you could give a chicken for preventative care. Please help me find what could be wrong with her...
****UPDATE**** With her help, we finally got the rest of the egg and shell out. She's eating and drinking now and I'm keeping her inside until she starts feeling herself. THANKS Everyone that helped!!!!
I have a tiny Serama hen that was egg bound, so I put her in a warm salt bath 3 times and no...
I think I might know what happen, but I'm not 100% sure. So I will need some to tell you the story and get help here if I can save her.
My husband always lets my Seramas out in the mornings since if gets up at the break of dawn. He let them out one morning last week and he heard a chick crying...
I'm posting this so I can better understand what is making some of my bantams lame at the age of 1 1/2 to 2 months old. They are very healthy one day and within a few days become lame without any type of injuries. If there is anything I can do to prevent and/or cure them of this....please any...
This is a photo of one of my Serama cockerels that seems to be a little droopy today and he pooped this out. I know they can show blood in their poop when they shed some from their inside but this seems to be a lot. He has been treated about a month ago with Corid and is now on an all natural...
This is one of my pullets that has not been feeling well and today I noticed she had matting around her vent so I gave her bath. Then I noticed this of her vent and panicked!! First after the bath I gave her an epsom salt soak with some electrolytes and now I'm going to try some yogurt (if I...
I have a Serama pullet that has had an eye problem since she was a baby and now it is out of control. hen she was smaller I thought she got something in it so I cleaned with warm wet cloth and then put Microcyn gel. It seemed to help, but keep coming back worse then before. Now I have been...
I have a 2 year old Serama hen that always lays larger then usual eggs but this time she is having serious complications. She has had one about a year ago and passed it with a little help. I gave her an epsom salt soak for about ten mins and nothing. I also used the tip of my finger with olive...
I have noticed for a few days that my little boy is not acting right. He's acting sluggish with what looks like greenish diarrhea. He's doing his everyday routine eating drinking fighting and fornicating but he is not well and this one has stumped me. I have been treating with Corid to all my...
I have a Serama cockerel that has been lethargic for a few days and will not eat or drink on his own. I can get water in him but he will not eat. He has been treated for cocci about 3 4 weeks ago. This is a picture of his poop this morning and I was hoping someone can tell what it might be by...
Here I go again needing more help from y'all awesome chicken people!! This time days old Serama chicks hatched by their mommy are running sideways real fast and flipping over like the are drunk. All my many years of breeding, incubating, and everything else to do with chickens......I have never...
I don't normally buy chicks because we do our own but I was in TSC a couple of weeks ago getting some feed and seen they had bantams. So, I noticed they had females 2 frizzle cochins and 2 white that I need help with. I'm thinking they are White Old English Game but not sure. Here's a picture of...
Well this is the third help request this week! I have a tiny Serama hen that continues to lay thin eggs even though she has plenty of calcium. Her mom was the same way. She looks like in the photos that she has an egg still in her but I see the sticky substance from the egg coming out. She has...
I'm back again and too soon I might add!!! I now have a Serama cockerel that I just found laying in his cage with his neck cocked to one side like he broke his neck. When I picked him up to check him, I noticed his crop is swollen like an empty balloon. He is still on chick starter with his...
