~MALAYSIAN SERAMA THREAD~ (PICS!!!)

[shelleyd2008]

Okay, finally got the picture loaded. She's always been smaller, but she seemed to stop growing around 6 weeks old. At 6 weeks old she was exactly 2.0 ounces
Here she is next to one of the hatchmates at about 8 weeks old.

And here she is yesterday at 21 weeks old

Thanks Beckie, I had a small one in the last hatch and wasn't sure it would make it either but it was breathing normal and like yours it ruled.....even in the brooder. He's about 11 wks old now and is still smaller than his sibling but he still rules.

Here's pics of him as a chick. I really need to get more recent pics of them.

No problem! If you go to page 374 in this forum you can see a picture of my little guy! They are soo cute, and unbelievably sweet!!! I have been trying like crazy to find another pullet for my guy, preferably a frizzle, or even some eggs to hatch out, but thus far have had no luck! My son plans to show 2 of our Seramas for 4-H and so every night he hold them, and practices getting them to let him flip them over on their backs, and it constantly amazes me how sweet they are and how they love to be around their humans! Again, good luck with your little one, keep everyone updated!

Beckie, I checked your boy out and he's a cutie for sure. I have a Frizzled roo but I don't have a hen with him yet. I really need more good hens but I have coops and pens to build, so I guess I'll have to wait and see how these pullets turn out. They're about 11 wks old now, so it'll be a while. They were 8 wks old in these photos.

She is very tiny. Larry (ladrifter) keeps forgetting to bring his scale with him when he comes over, but I'd say she is less than 4 ounces. She seemed to have stopped growing around 6 weeks old, then started growing for a little while, and has now stopped again. I have had them outside for a few weeks but this little one came back in yesterday...she just can't handle all the excitement. But she is doing very well in the brooder with some 3-4 week old chicks...most of whom are the same size as she

ETA: Larry said he has one that's just about the same size, another pullet. I hatched mine from mbrobbins (on here) and his came from BluegrassSeramas

The little chick I have now is by my Silkied roo Bo and Layla. Bo came from Juliette and has Bluegrass behind him also though her roo Blue Boy. Bo's mother was a hen she got from Dianne. The black and white pullets are full siblings to the little chick.

I have a 4 mo old that has already laid 10 tiny eggs. I couldn't believe it when I saw the first egg in there. I hope they get larger!!

You're luck to have someone close enough to visit. There are a few of us in TX but none close to me....the closest Seramas are well over a 100 miles.

Here in Northern California it's been storming for weeks with hardly a break in the weather, and of all silly things I have five broody serama hens right now! It's looking like I might get some chicks out of this, too. Goofy girls, I'm going to have to bring them inside soon so their chicks can hatch out of the storm.

Shelley that little one is to cute!

Cute little ones Yeagin

Silver good luck on the broodies!

Finally my little hen has started laying about 1 every three days. I think she was just low on calcium. Hopefully will be throwing those in the incubator soon (maybe) if not I hope she goes broody LOL

I started sprinkling Calisand on my birds' feed two weeks ago. It's a calcium supplement/substrate found in the reptile section of the pet store. I have a typey pullet who, at 9 months, just put her first shell on an egg! Her sister is five months old, and although she hasn't started laying yet, I've started her on Calisand as well.

Liz thanks, I had just saw your post on SCNA. Now I have to try and find some without driving 50 miles to get it..lolol..I have a 4 month old pullet that's already laid 10 very small eggs. She's not very typey and I'm not planning to use her but I'm very short of hens so when she's older she'll keep one of the roos happy. Wouldn't you know her egg shells are very hard but not the one I'm wanting to use.
