I have a tom entered in a show this weekend and although I can handle him fine I don't want him to cause any problems for the judge. Do the judges pick them up and handle them? What is the exam like? This is my first show as well as my Toms. Any suggestions or input greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Looking for silkied serama eggs to purchase. It is now too cold at night here to ship live birds but the incubator is still running and eggs seem to ship just fine. I have a small flock of good quality seramas and would like to introduce some of the silkied seramas into my flock.

I have 2 different sets of serama eggs in my incubating hova bator at 45-50% humidity and 99-100°. My first batch of eggs at 14 days seem to be right on or a little behind on evaporation. These will be moving to the hatcher incubator on Monday. These also happen to be Franks eggs, great...
I have a silkie that surprised me with 2 chicks today. I had to bring them inside because we are down in the teens. I got them all set up and while watching them I saw a tiny red bug crawling on one. It disappeared before I could get it off. Now I am worried about the chicks health because...
