American serama thread!

I wouldn't do any more trimming. There can be blood in the base of the feathers.
They will eventually fall out and new feathers will grow.

X 2. She is a most unusual chicken.

Thank you, that's what I was afraid of so I didn't trim to much just evened them out. I did trim her toe nails also b/c they were very long and I got the quick on one toe but was able to quickly get the bleedingbto stop. Poor girl. But she loves her new food! Scrambled egg, start and grow, parsley, thyme,dill weed, cinnamon and little vinegar in her water!

With the better diet I bet you'll see an improvement in her appearance and general condition.

With that bright red face, wattles, and comb consider upping her calcium intake in case she is laying eggs. She rather looks like she needs all the help you can give her.

for increasing her calcium should I just offer her sister shells? Or is there another way to increase calcium?

I use oyster shell and hard boiled eggs with the shell crushed finely and mixed in with the yolk and egg white.

I have to ask about the serama in your avatar picture! It's so pretty! Almost doesn't look real, like a beautiful little statue. I need to know about her! I'm assuming it's a hen because of the tail.

This is the "hen" all grown up.

If her health is not up to par be careful not to give too much of the egg mixture as it can cause intestinal problems.
