  maybe he will know one closer to you 

That would be nice. I live in Michigan and all I could find was MSU extension. That's where it's $160. No one needs it now, but there was a time that I had 3 die in two days. I was terrified that they were all going to die then.

It's the third time in the last 2 months that she's tried to go broody. Oh well. I guess she needs some eggs to sit on. Last time she hatched chicks, she was a terrible mother. Completely clueless. Hoping she does better this time.

They are so pretty

I've never had seramas. They lay white eggs?
Are they good broody mamas?
