Still can't get over a chicken that stands upright like a human. That has to play awful tricks on their hip joints.
Do the deformities cause issues? Is it fatal?
I hatch out silkies and bantam crosses and they do tend to have leg issues more than other breeds. Most of the time they are easily fixed by bracing.
That's what I do! I tend to have splay legs with my Silkies
The deformities are not fatal with my birds. It might be different for others, but I've tried to perfect my line as much as I could. The deformities sometimes do cause problems, but usually with some extra care, they're fine. We just don't breed the one with deformities to prevent further defects down the line.Maybe it's their posture and weight distribution.
It makes sense for sure. Aren't they smaller than most bantams? Like maybe even the smallest chicken breed?
Yes, they're the smallest chicken breed in the world.
They're so cute though!
Hi! Here’s sending you much wishes for all 7 to hatch! I’d LOVE to claim #1 the lil Serama as I’m also incubating 12 Serama eggs myself and it’s my first time ever incubating eggs of any kind.. I’m hoping to hatch 2 and if I get any more I’ll be so thrilledHi! This is new for me, I normally post about random things like my chickens being weird. I'm doing what will probably be my 9th and final hatch of the year. It will be a batch of silkies and one serama. Only seven eggs in total, which is fairly small compared to my normal batches of about 18-50 depending on the incubator. It might be a bit chaotic, but hopefully I can keep you guys updated every other day or so.
So without further ado... let's hatch out some butt nuggets!!!
Egg #1: Serama
Egg #2: silkie
Egg #3: silkie
Egg #4: silkie
Egg #5: silkie
Egg #6: silkie
Egg #7: silkie
Hopefully we get a few breeder worthy Silkies this batch! I switched out my previous rooster so we'll see what happens!
