American serama thread!

Could she be egg bound

I hadn't considered that. None of the girls have laid since I brought them home 11 days ago. Maybe I'll give her an epsom salt soak tomorrow.

That is not necessary unless you just feel inside of her it should be on the left side of her body if she has an egg in her this isn't my first rodeo I have dealt with an egg bound hen before. It should just feel like a hard egg shaped object. Because if she doesn't have an egg in her then there is no need for a soak.

Well we candled today to see if they were alive, and sure enough we saw some movement!!!!! Just another week and a half and they are due!!!!!! I will have little serama chicks, this is our first time hatching.

I found an egg today. Surely 12 weeks is too young for a serama to lay, isn't it?

It was in a nest box in a coop that is currently unoccupied. I cleared that coop a couple days ago, and I'm not sure when I last looked in the box. A broody OEGB and her youngens were in it, but it doesn't look like one of her eggs and I dont think she would be laying again yet, but its possibly hers. I also have a couple other OEGB girls that I just got, it could be theirs, but they would have to have snuck in there quickly today, because they haven't had access to that coop until today. The serama have had the easiest access, other than that momma hen.

Found the culprit. Two of my OEGB momma hens are laying again, as of yesterday!

Good luck! They are such fun to watch hatch. Keep us posted!

Does anyone here have a breeding pair of seramas forsale and can ship I don't want anyone to ship very far so if possible I would like them to be from a or somewhere around pa and isn't a 10 hour drive for shipping.

Contact Sally Sunshine. She has some nice frizzles and smooths. I don't know what she has right now or even if she still has sera,as

Laying at 12 weeks is unlikely, BUT it is possible. I had a pullet last year that started to lay just a few days past 12 weeks of age. She was brooding before she was 4 months old. The eggs were fertile, but none hatched.

Hes just simply: ADORABLY HANDSOME

Thank you. I do wish he had the vertical tail that serama are supposed to have.

good luck! And thanks, I solved the mystery, it wasn't my seramas egg. My new-momma OEGBs have started laying again.
