The layer crumble is really fine too. Not pellets

i use crumble with mine, so you should be ok, i do grind shells for extra calcium,, since they are so small the oyster shell seems a bit large

I posted this on another thread, but I thought you guys might be able to tell me something about this. We let the lone Serama have a couple days to himself (and a mirror) to strengthen due to his size before we put him in with the Silkies who are only a couple days ahead in age. Well, we handled him a lot bc we didn't want him getting too lonely but we tried putting him in with the other chicks and he is just not interested in them. He peeps. Loud. Nonstop. Unless we hold him. When I say nonstop, I mean seriously, he yells all day long. My entire family, to include kids and other animals, are looking for excuses to leave the house bc of the noise. I have thermometers, so the temp is okay. I didn't know what to do, so I ran errands with him. In my shirt. I took a chicken into CVS and to my kids' school. He is happy as a clam as long as he's ON me. If not, he screams. I've never seen anything like this before and neither has anybody else. It seems like abnormal chicken behavior, of course you could say the same about me, taking a chicken shopping with me. But I was desperate. Lol

This is normal singleton chick behavior, and it is especially true for seramas. He wants his MAMA and you are it. Was he incubator hatched? If so, then i am guessing he saw human first and has bonded with humans.
I have a little carrier for my "special" serama boy and he comes with me everywhere. weather permitting he waits in the car for me and/or comes int he store with me
You can try putting a little stuffed animal in with him or a feather duster nd see if that helps. MAN if you were closer I would be glad to take the little shaver, I love singletons!
