American serama thread!

[JulieNKC]

Does anyone have eggs for sale? Trying to find some serama or frizzle serama. please pm me if you have any or will have any. Thanks

I think i saw an ad from Bhep in the classified section here. She has frizzles too I think. 2 of mine are from her, and I love them.

Just ordered a dozen eggs from BHEp! They should arrive late/early next week. I'm so excited!

Help me! I have a baby Serama that just hatched a few days ago and was doing well. Arrive home after a basketball game tonight and the baby is laying very still in the brooder. So, I pick her up and her body feels limp but she is still peeping. I dip her beak in the water and she takes a few sips. I come back 30 minutes later with no improvement. What is wrong?

I have nothing to ad to what everyone else has posted, but I wish you luck! Hope she gets better soon.

try giving them bubble baths and blow dry, it seems to break down some resistance- something about a beauty treatment..

Just had to bath my silkie hen at 930 at night someone pooped on her and it mad her wing stick to her side she actually fell asleep as I carried her back to the coop I felt so bad I woke her up sometimes I feel like I have four infants in my backyard not four chickens I'm amazed at their personalities and I love them I call them my babies!!! I'm off to bed though I will post pictures of my Jenna and aurora tomorrow!

Are you giving it medicated feed? Perhaps you'd best get a little corid to put in the water? Also make sure the brooder isn't too hot, and that the chicks can get away to a cooler area. Add perhaps a teaspoon of sugar to a glass of water, but if you can get to a drug store, get some baby pediacare infant vitamins without iron and give her some of that. If she's that weak, she's in danger I'm afraid!

I know, I can't believe how much they love baths! After years of washing my dogs, always a struggle, I was so shocked the first time I needed to wash a bird, LOL, what a difference! They really love it!

I totally agree. Love these birds so much, I may not make a good chicken farmer after all, don't think I can slaughter, which is too bad. I'd like to be able to raise the roosters for meat, but it's too hard with the ones I have right now, they're my babies, ugh! How did that happen?

Easiest source of sugar and a little electrolyte is Gatorade--a drop or two full strength then split half with water (is about the same as pedialyte). Usually well received.

No clue about the actual problem, sorry--good luck!

I gave my baby sugar water and thats all I could get into her before she passed. What do you think was the cause of death?

 

[onafixedincome]

No clue... Sucks when that happens, though!!

Oh, so sorry localcommotion

That's so sad!

Sometimes Serama chicks just don't thrive no matter what you do. They genetically have a few kinks that sometimes show up, so I wouldn't beat yourself up about it. So sorry though, it sucks to lose one of these awesome little guys.
