Update: She is doing great! I think I see some granulation starting around the edges of the wound! Unfortunately, I also spotted a couple of green, pussy looking spots. I took Q-tips, soaked in hydrogen peroxide, and gently dabbed just the green areas, keeping the liquid away from the...
Evening update - she had her Neo, a nice dinner of scrambled eggs, yogurt, and chick feed, a cuddle, and is now quietly sleeping. The wounded area is all purpley, but I think that's just bruising. Otherwise, I think looks really good, considering. No green or infected looking areas, no bad...
Thank you for the reply, sunflour. :) I don't have any vets locally that treat birds that I know of... there is one place that I haven't tried yet, and I think they're still open. I'll go give them a call as soon as I get this posted....
Well, she seems to be holding her own. She's bright...
When I got home around six last evening from running errands, I found one of my three month old bantam cochin pullets with a large raw area on her back. I brought her in the house and examined her - the skin from the lower fourth of her back to the very tip of her tail is completely gone. (No...
I am so, so sorry for your loss, after all the work and love you poured into the incredibly lucky Kobuta. I wish it had ended better for him, and you. I just lost my most dearest Serama boy, and as much as I want to share his story here I can't quite bring myself to yet. I applaud that you...
What type of bird , age and weight. Serama chick, 6 days old, a little over half an ounce
How long has the bird been exhibiting symptoms? 3 days
Is there any bleeding, injury, broken bones or other sign of trauma. Vent appears to be prolapsed
What has the bird been eating and drinking...
Thanks for the good luck wish!!
Baby five is out - I was worried since it had been a day and a half since pip/start of zip, with zero progress, and mama Fauna already got off the nest a couple of times this afternoon. I carefullly checked, and poor baby was completely shrinkwrapped. I...
My cats knocked over my incubator on lockdown day, damaging eight of ten Serama eggs, some of them pretty badly. I melted candle wax over the worst of the cracks and put them back in and upped the humidity some, and nine of the ten hatched, and one of them is sitting on her own eggs and...
Woke up to two more bebbies - total is now four, with one egg that has a large hole and very active chick inside, and one egg with nothing. Will have pics of new bebbies soon.
Okay, took me a little longer than anticipated, but as promised - pics!
Mama Fauna - this isn't a great pic of her. She's got the most feminine face of my Serama girls, with huge dark eyes. She looks all tired out - poor thing. She's been working hard.
First baby, out of a Fauna egg...
First baby is out! And soooo tiny - from one of Fauna's eggs. Will have pics in a little while, after baby fluffs out a bit. Other eggs just have small pips, so it'll be a while.

Ah, day #16 - I CANNOT believe how fast the time is flying this time around! Usually it feels like it crawls while I'm turning.. and turning... and candling... and turning... LOL (Having a broody do the work ROCKS!) Anyhoo, Fauna, at candling yesterday, has six full eggs, most showing some...
Awww.... great pics everyone! Such beautiful birds.... :lov
I need to get some pics of my babies - nearly six months old, and I'm still waiting on two of four girls to start laying. Grrr.... on the other hand, I have a girl on the nest with five, maybe six, fertile eggs under her. And it...
LOL@ Bluegrass Yeah, some hardcore breeder I am. These babies will at least know who their mamas are, tho. So, okay, I wasn't going to candle until day 5, y'know, be good and all that, and then, somehow, there was an egg in one hand and my miniMag in the other... and... it just happened...
