I think the photos are beautiful, and I'm glad you took the opportunity to go. I'd be jealous, but I swim like a dead rock!

Are serama chicks really this small. and look

They're almost that small as adults

Look at how small the eggs are they come out of.

Thanks! Yes, all mine, but I only still have the boy, the EEs, and the guineas.

The one in the foreground in that last picture looks just like my lone remaining EE.
She's 7 and still lays great.

Noticed one of my girls favoring one leg a bit yesterday; not bad, just noticeable. Have to keep an eye on her; make sure she can keep getting around alright. Not a lot I can do about it; can't catch her without a net, which would probably make it worse. They all gather ;round me whenever I walk out the door, but picking one up is an altogether different proposition.

Same here. It takes about a year before they start coming to me. Otherwise they run like the wind. Even the more tame older ones scatter if a stranger arrives.
I haven't had a bird I could pick up in the yard since I had Jersey Giants and Orpingtons.

I just wait until after they roost at night. Easier to do medical evaluations. They aren't as stressed since they haven't been chased around. And they are more compliant

Same here. All of my buildings are big enough to walk into or are arranged so the roost is against a wall with windows or doors I can reach in and pluck the birds off of the roost without going inside.

I took a 3 week hiking trip to Vietnam and Cambodia with my brother and sister in law about 5 (?) years ago. Included time in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, and lots of hiking in the northwest mountains, Siem Reap and the temples, and finished with a biking and boating trip through rural Mekong Delta. One of the most AMAZING trips I have ever taken. Didn't go to Thailand, but as I was there when those folks took over the airport in Bangkok, I ended up very glad we went through Seoul...

Here are some chickens I saw in the rural areas in the mountains (and a few other photos):













This is a chicken harvest (they were feeding the folks who were helping build their house). Dispatch on the right, cleaning not eh left. Pigs and ducks looking on:

Baby pigs and a momma hen and her babies cleaning up scraps after the chicken harvest:

Angkor Wat at sunrise (not a chicken, but pretty):


- Ant Farm

That looks awesome @Fire Ant Farm what a great trip. The first roo picture looks like a red jungle fowl.
Is that Angkor Wat in the last picture? I love the terracing. My daughter has some pictures like that. Few chicken pictures though. Most of hers are of elephants, water buffalo and dogs. I'd love to see Ha Long Bay. Was it foggy when you were there? I've never been to Asia. My son has been there twice. He spent a month in China seeing all the hot spots; Xiaolin temple, Terra Cotta Soldiers, a remote section of the Great Wall, Forbidden City, Shanghai, Lhasa, more temples than he could count - and oh yeah, the pollution in Beijing.
A couple years later he went to Thailand and Cambodia when he visited his girlfriend who was going to college in Thailand.
I think his experience was why my daughter decided to go there.

I begged her once again to squeeze me into her backpack this morning.

One of the things I miss most is the plate of an amazing varieties of the freshest fruit served at every meal and many grown right in the backyard. She'll be landing in San Jose in about a half hour. Then 3 buss rides to La Fortuna and their waterfalls, hot springs and views of the Arenal volcano. She'll be in La Fortuna by 5.

:CALLS!!!! e

More pictures??? Please??

This one was my only one to hatch. It was definitely my hardest assisted hatch yet. They were shipped eggs, which makes an already hard task even harder.

@casportpony
Tylan liquid should be administered with a 22 gage needle correct? One that says 22ga x 3/4" would be good right?

and if I want to use denagard in their water would using both at the same time be a bad idea or would it be okay to double up like that?

my last ditch effort to clear the runny noses of my two birds in quarantine.....

@kwhites634 , yes, was there to dive the reefs. Amazing place!
