One of my young gamefowl (about...four months old, I'd say) looks, for lack of a better word.. droopy. He's just not himself. He's holding his wings low, holding his tail low. I can't find anything visibly wrong with him and i'm about to start him on baytril just to see if it helps because he...
Unfortunately just discovered one of my elderly serama hens has a belly of water. I pulled off what I could. Very textbook ascites, pale yellow fluid. Her breathing is less labored now. This has been developing for quite a while and I knew something wasn't right- the fluid has just presented as...
My young stag has been corded for a while now to keep him from attacking the seramas when he matures, as he's a game bird. He hasn't matured yet lmfao and is still an incredible weenie.
But he hurt his leg. I think he might have tried to pull free of the cord? He's favoring it only slightly. It...
So I have a flock of 6 serama and 2 gamefowl hens. 3 roosters are in the flock. They are all serama. They get along very well. Top bird is Lil Man, then Bebeep and then Guster at the bottom. The hens, in order of dominance are Black Tie Affair, Serbie, and then Angel. The two gamebirds are still...
Help!
It went from 9 healthy chicks to 4 in two days. They go from standing and running around eating and healthy to dead in hours. No blood in stool but I am treating for coccidiosis anyway. The first day I lost 3 one after the other then yesterday one and today another.. They show no symptoms...
Help!
My babs have been delegated to their pens. I have 2 hawks hanging around. I've lost 2 baby chicks and I thought it was feral cats so I started locking tiny ones up but now I've seen the hawks coming and I KNOW they took the peeps. I want to put up bird mesh over the free range area. Has...
My silkie cock woke up yesterday with a nasty nose (off white discharge) and swollen eye. I got him on tylan right away and eye drops(antibiotic ones) for the eye. Hes breathing loudly tonight though and sneezy, I dont think there's been enough time for the medicine to kick in yet. I put a...
Help!
So yesterday a lil Serama hatched. He (yep, a boy) is perfect. All his little toes are accounted for. But he just doesn't seem -right-. It's been 24 hours and he will not eat and drink by himself.
He can stand up, but with effort and spends a lot of time rocking back on his hocks and...
I just planted 2 pots with 3 varieties of hen and chicks succulents and I'm soooo excited! I've been wanting them for a while so I finally got them and I'm thrilled. Does anyone else grow these? Tell me about them!
I just want to double check. I'm dosing serama and serama size birds (have a couple randoms too lol- 2 modern game bantams and a sebright) and can only buy injectable tylan, but am dosing orally. I did 1/4 cc. I am planning to do this for a week per instructions I found here.
Two are congested...
So I have a serama cock with this-
I think I'm going to ask my vet to exise it but it won't be cheap. Is there anything else I can do for him for now?
I believe it has thick cheesy pus in it. Won't come through a needle hole, I tried that. I have baytril on hand I can give him.
It's chicken math season. We have 2 Cochin peeps already- gold laced. Purchasing serama hatching eggs in a few weeks. And we set 6 Cochin eggs last week under my broody (should be a mix of standard and frizzle, out of my high quality show bird stock I house at my dad's).
And a new puppy is due...
So we recently got back Magnum, a big polish rooster who is joining our other two house boys. He had been staying with a friend. Anyway, that's not really relevant. What is important is he's home where he belongs and he has a problem.
He has stinky breath, kind of sour. I wonder if he might...
Hey guys.
My indoor dudes, mostly my serama, seem to have a stubborn case of scaly mites. Bummer. I tried a few treatments but I think I need to go to a spot on. I have some canine Sentry.
Does anyone know if this is alright for my boys?
If not I'll get some revolution which I know is safe...
So Boss my silver sebright being the little hustler that he is has a few scars on his face from fighting and one from a metal crate when we had to hit the brake suddenly in the car and he slid hard into a sharp spot.
Nothing too severe. But do minor imperfections on the face from injuries...
I wanted to get this for my two house boys to supplement their beautiful feathers but it is really high in calcium. Is there an alternative product to support healthy feathers that isn't so calcium rich? Thought about giving them some of my parrots featherrific..
Since we don't have one (the link is broke in the breed threads so it must have gone away)
I want to make one.
Show me your serama! Discuss the breed here. :)
