Just one thing, unlike a dove, you can't make a chicken not lay eggs. And yes, it is possible she might need calcium supplementation in the near future, although I like to provide it no matter the situation. Then again, you and I have very very different setups. Although I will say, letting her...
I haven't had the best success with broodies unfortunately, so I'm not the best person to ask for this, but I can definitely give you some advice! First of all you need to know what a broody is, and when do hens typically start to go broody. As light hours increase during spring time, hens start...
Parrots are known for their complex social structures, very different from chickens though (and thankfully IMO:lau
)! Just as another question, serams, or bantams and bantams in general are known to go broody quite often. How would you deal with her going broody?
I agree with you, you don't need to go looking for that person, especially since you haven't seen anyone searching for a chicken! What I'm saying is that there really isn't much to eat on a serama, nor does it lay much. Furthermore, a person that doesn't take the best care of their chickens and...
This is in no way a personal attack to you, but a serama, a breed that isn't used for eggs nor meat would not be found in a flock of someone who doesn't care for their chickens properly or loves them. Hope she works out in your home, but please keep in mind that chickens are social animals and...
But I'd highly encourage you to get a second hen, maybe another serama, chickens are social creatures, and interactions between other species is not exactly the same thing unfortunately

White legs are not the beginning of leg mites! So much so, that some standards for some aseel types say that the only acceptable leg color is white. On a different note, I would highly encourage you to get a second chicken to keep her company
