    Californians **Beware!!! Newcastle Outbreak**

    The Newcastle vaccine is not effective against the strain found in the California outbreak. And it will cause animals to test positive for Newcastle. It is not a good choice in this case.

    American serama thread!

    Got my show table finally, and tried everyone out on it briefly. We were not impressed.

    American serama thread!

    If she's trying to get under the other hen, she is trying to steal the egg (and spot) and incubate it herself

    4.5 week old Serama chicks, need help sexing one

    Yep, and actually the dominant of the two. Crowing, mounting, and otherwise behaving in every way like a young roo.

    Both cockerels. Here they are at 10 weeks, alone and with their two pullet clutchmates. Let's see yours?

    Need advice on a rooster with no legs

    This young lady in Australia is collecting frostbite data as part of her chicken foot prosthetic research. Your info on Bael could help her, and she might be able to assist with prosthetics at some point, too. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2272138862829917&id=854130214630796

    ➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

    I made this succulent arrangement a couple of years ago for a county fair and kept it because I love it. Today, the Seramas decided it was a playground. I caught them at it while I was repotting some African violets, I didn't even pose this. This was all chickens being goofy.

    7.5 week old Seramas -- thinking 2.4, would like confirmation

    Basically hoping I don't have any stealth cockerels in the 4 that look like pullets now. What's the latest anyone has ever had a Serama comb out? Mistletoe: Pullet? (Little bit of red in the face, none in the comb) Oscar: Cockerel for sure Selkie: Pullet? (Longest comb of the suspected...
