I'm so sorry for your loss RB.. What a horribly sad accident.

me too, we had an accident too yesterday. My smallest serama roo got out and DH put him in the wrong cage with my largest, head roo. Seramas can be soo mean. My poor little Lobo had blood all over his pecked up head. He seems fine this morning back with his ladies.

Well I like $12 better than $60. May have to look into those reptile heating pads.

I was useing a heating pad in the bottom of the tanks wiht a wood thing over it for a fake brinsea, I like those more then the real ones so far.

HEART BROKEN - HUGS NEEDED I have had 2 silkie hens (missy and prissy) for so long I can't remember how old they are. The roo I bought then - Flapper - is still with me also. They were not "top" quality but I have never been able to let them go.... Well, I just let the three of them and a black with a bad foot (my husband somehow managed to shut her up in the door) run willynilly around in the barn. A couple weeks ago I found Prissy sitting on 5 eggs. So, I let her (should have known better but she was in a nest box) This morning I open the barn door, step in and she is under my feet! THEN I HEAR THE SQUAWKING!! All 5 had hatched and she had brought them to the door where she is accustomed to meeting ME. I HAD STEPPED ON THEM

all 5 had hatched and were beautiful. I brought them to the house and put them under a heat lamp. 2 were dead and three barley moving. The three are now on their feet but shivering. I am praying they make it. I feel like a MURDERER. I cried like a baby. Prissy is beside herself and looking all over the barn. I may bring her in and put her with the babies.
Just had to tell someone and knew you all would understand ......

((( HUGS.. If you havn't already bring her in, at least she will know what happened.

I would have already stopped. ( for eggs) Its peak time at USPS right now, and worse with the biggest cyber Monday ever. It is already taking 5 instead of 3 for priority. I would not count on it going back to 3 days until a day to so after new years.

My Seramas arrived this morning; healthy and happy. They ate the entire apple the breeder placed in their box. Well..the pulp anyway. They didn't eat the peel. They had zero poop in the box but made up for it when they were placed in their temporary house...then they let it fly. Even though I've seen several pictures, I still wasn't prepared for a) how stinkin' tiny they are and b) how straight they stand up without tipping over and c) how fluffy and multifaceted their feathers are. Cowboy (the boy) has been crowing non-stop since we brought them home. My husband said "Okay, I definitely need to sound proof that room," but my reaction was, "That is the coolest sound ever." Cjwaldon's NJ roo (Lancelot) that is with us crows too and it's just the cutest little noise. I hatched him out from some eggs we swapped; he's almost 2 months now. He'll be going home to CJ at some point, I just don't know when...but I do know I will need a year's supply of Kleenex on that day; I love him so. Annie Oakley has been doing a whole lot of sitting and shuffling her belly in the sand (methinks she needs some eggs). It was very nice and comforting to see that both of them are pooping healthy poops, and neither of them have any "buggies" ...no lice, no mites or any other critters. Both are chunky little monkeys without being "fat", they're just really stocky birds but really tiny at the same time. They even smelled nice - kind of like oatmeal and brown sugar - until they pooped (that was a bit stinky). Cowboy has a white and brown tail and the rest of him is a mix of white and caramel with honey highlights- gorgeous coloring. Annie Oakley is solid, but equally as beautiful. She's a sex-link chocolate pullet and extremely sweet.

I will make a thread on Saturday with a picture heavy warning because I haven't been able to post any pictures since around the last week of September or somewhere around there so I'll be going a bit photo-nuts. I'll include:

Lancelot & Guinevere (the 2 NJs I hatched out of CJ's eggers)
The chicken coop & run
The Serama habitat we're building this weekend
Cowboy & Annie Oakley (the Seramas)
The little easter egger and Silkie chicks we have growing out (they're 4 weeks now)
The brooder we built last weekend

...I think that's it...maybe.


In any case...just thought I would update anyone who was wondering about them; they arrived safe and sound and are settling in nicely.


I'm going afk to grab a doggy pee-pad and put it on my chest, and then snuggle with the new featherfluffs (the doggy pee-pads work great for this purpose by the way).

Happy hatching & swapping

Looking forward to pictures Clucky!

I think someone else sent me extra eggs because I got a box I thought was maybe this? But I guess not. THANK YOU whoever sent me eggs
