~MALAYSIAN SERAMA THREAD~ (PICS!!!)

[SarahIrl]

I have one young POL pullet, I don't think she is laying yet, and have had maybe five from a regular layer 2 yrs old) in the last 3 weeks. I am desperate to get the incubator on, but she is stubbornly refusing to lay! Any ideas? I don't want to put up lights on timers as all my other breeds are now laying full swing so I know it's not a daylight issue.

I took my two house seramas, Swordfish and Molly, to an introduction to backyard chickens class yesterday and they were quite well-received!

I was determined not to hatch any more seramas because I end up keeping most of them and because I'm a rescue sort of person who feels bad about breeding anything, but I keep getting calls from people wanting seramas as pets! So I guess my breeding project goes on. My mom is not going to be thrilled, she is constantly telling me I have too many birds and not to get any more! I have some hens on eggs right now and I guess I'll let them keep the eggs, and I'm thinking about starting to collect eggs for the ol' incubator.

Seramas are a bad addiction indeed!

Thanks for all the ideas. Right now I have them in a large dog crate that I had form my Great Dane days. I have sand in the bottum but there is a sawmill up the road where i can get wood shavings. I like the brick idea because they keep filling there water with sand. I think I will cut some thin plywood for around the sides.

Does anyone know where I an get some hens that are not real expensive? Do not want to spend alot for them until I learn more about this whole chicken hobby.

You might try hanging the water and the feed. I use a pop bottle waterer that works great!!! No junk can get in, water stays clean. For the feed, I use a clip on cage feeder. Less waste there too.
Best of luck with your Serama!!

Does anyone have Seramas for sale that are in Arizona? I am meeting two ladies in Waddell on Thursday to get chicks from one or both of them, but I would like to find someone who has unrelated birds in Arizona to get a cockerel from. We are building our new Serama coop on Monday

So, I would love to find all of my flock by then, but if not I'll just get my "hopefully" girls from them and keep looking.
Thanks!
