American serama thread!

[Sumatra503]

I think we're from the same area! I'm going to a poultry swap this weekend and getting a dozen serama eggs from Laura too. I'm so excited! My first purebred seramas

I did have a serama silkie mix who was such a sweetheart, but she passed away a month ago.

Here's my sweet Pepper

Well, I'll see you in Canby then! That hen is adorable!


This is Zip. She was a cochin/serama cross hen.

Oh, she was so cute! I'm sorry she's gone, and hope she had a long happy life with you!

Alright I have three chicks this morning! YAY!!!! Finally! Most of my chicks have been pretty quick at hatching. This batch is taking forEVER. how funny!

Yaaay! Congratulations!

Oh, she's super pretty too! You all are making me want to try crossing a serama and a bantam sultan, LOL (but I need larger egg layers now, so I won't)

Oh yah, one of my babies has a slipped tendon. I keep stretching back the leg and massaging, twirking it in place and then stretching it by bending that joint closed again. I think it's getting a little looser, but will it eventually stay in place? Right now, as soon as I let the baby go, it pops it back out for a more comfortable, but unusable position. I'm hoping if I spend enough time with the chick doing this, it'll get better. Anyone else go through this? I'm afraid when I make a splint, that the tendon falls off anyway since I can't see it, plus s/he is so small, it's hard to get it right.

Would love to hear from anyone that has had success reattaching the tendon?

What can too high humidity do?? My humidity is only a little higher during lock down then the rest of incubation. Now that they are hatching I think they have super high humidity because I'm afraid of them drying out because they are taking SoOOOOooO long.

I have 6 chicks out! And 5 from the cooler bater pipping! YEAAAH

You need to splint it in place so it stays there. Here's a thread on fixing it: Slipped Tendon

My Serama rooster, Duke, has had 2 episodes of either seizures or strokes in the last 12 hours. I dont really know how old he is but I am thinking he doesn't have long before he will pass. I am so sad for him!! Here he is in my arms just now as I held him thru his episode again.

SO sorry to hear this, it is heartbreaking to watch and not be able to a thing about it. I have experienced this with a serama of mine that sustained a head trauma. Just love that boy as much as you can...LOL

Okay, it's a LOOONG link, but it's well worth clicking on. Was wandering around YahooNews and looking at the photos from the Sony World Photography competition and WHOA!

It's a SERAMA, doing the Malaysian Mambo! In other words, a hen showing off her attitude and character. VERY cool picture! Just thought folks here might want to take a peek.
