American serama thread!

Oh poor Lacey. Was she the Lacey you got from me? Do you still have the two I called Pidgeon and Partridge? How is Holly Berry and Toy Boy doing? Miss them.

Yes it was =(I'm super bummed. I really liked her! I had Lacey and Berry and Toy together as a trio. I might take back one of the other girls you gave me - I gave half to a friend and sold half to another serama lover here in town.
Toy has Lady the crossbeak with him though too, so they aren't lonely.

Well this day sucks already! I left the hose on all night by mistake. About 10 hours!
Then I noticed that my precious turkey Blue Bell is blind in both eyes. Bad infection. I am afraid this will be her last day. I have to steel myself to putting her down. She is 6 and is going badly down hill for about 2 months. Loosing weight and not herself. 6 is not too old for a turkey but she has servived 2 eye infections and 3 dog maulings and it has taken its toll on her health. Now with a infection in both eyes it is time.
MY sweet Blue Bell.

Hey guys, hope all is well.
I just hatched 2 little Serema chicks, and I did the feather sexing and pretty sure they're both hens, so I'm planning what to breed them too next year.
Which roo looks better stance wise, would do better in show, etc. anything that shows if its a SQ bird or not

This pic best showed his back (he's not so photogenic as the other boy), not so much his colors though.

The mom

She's also not too photogenic xD but here's the mom trying to find food in a poop covered roost. Lol

And the other boy who I really love, but his tail isn't so full, but I think his stance is better

Ill try to take better pics tomorrow, or maybe this afternoon. I need to let them perch on my hand while someone takes a pic



Eat ;;
So sorry about your hen, she seems so sweet <333

 

[Fuzzybird]

Thank You all. Blue Bell is now at the Rainbow bridge. I miss her.

I got my 1st pair of Seramas yesterday!

They are so cute. They are about 6 1/2 months old. The man I got them from said some of his hens are already laying. He didn't have his in very good living conditions (dirty cages, dirty water bowls, etc.) so I don't want to learn his mistakes.

I do know that I have to make some adjustments for them because of their small size so I have some questions.

1) Since they are so small, what is a good way to crush the oyster shell she needs? Or is their something else I can offer her?

2) How small do I need to crush the layer pellets?

3) Any suggestions on a feeder that will cut down on the amount they waste? Pics would help too if it's a DIY one. (I have some poultry nipples to make a waterer for them.)

4) Is there a bedding that is better than pine shavings for them?

5) What do you all use for a nest box? He had small buckets turned on their side.

6) What nesting material is good?

7) Any other tips/advice in general?

These pics aren't the best, but here they are:

He is red (brown?) & black with some green shine to the black feathers.


She is white with grey around her head & in some of her feathers.
