American serama thread!

[ladycat]

Hi does anyone know where I can buy small egg cartons that will hold the Seramas eggs?
I've been looking everywhere but can't seem to find anything. The closest ones I've found are for bantam eggs but they hold 18 eggs. I only have 2 girls (currently lol) so looking for ones that hold less.
Thanks

I wonder if something like this would work for you, if you could find less than 100. http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/221494698479?lpid=82

If you sell ur eggs or transport ur eggs the get bantam size or even reg size egg cartons. Wrap the serama eggs in cotton balls or cotton bandage cloth in egg egg slot.

Thanks but no not selling or transporting just like to have cartons on hand for family & friends who ask for eggs

If you lay a sheet or two of paper towel on top of the cups in a regular eggs carton and then put the eggs in, they are more secure and don't roll around. Cheap and easy : )

Contessa is in lockdown! and, what is going on with Gizmo?? no mites, micro serama

Artsy, is it a dry scab or it is something soft?

 

[artsyrobin]

its like a scab, someone thought it might be the early stage of a prolapse, so will be doing warm compresses tomorow, she isn't showing any distress

Is she laying normal (for her) sized eggs?

 

[artsyrobin]

she only lays once every few months...

I got my thinking cap on and am curios, does she have problems with messy vent at all? Does her vent make the kissing motions when you lift her tail? I lean more towards fungus/bacteria/worms. Her vent just doesn't look 100% normal.
Start doing the warm compresses and try a dab of neosporin to help the skin get rid of the scab....
GEEZ, more questions than answers huh?
