Glad you got the babe back to mom!
You know what's really frustrating? Waiting for cute little serama eggs. My hen is 33 weeks old and her comb and wattles are still little. I felt the bones near her vent, and only my thumb fits inbetween them. So we got at least another month of waiting. I also have the guineas coming into the POL, but haven't seem them mating or squatting yet. They're 20(?) weeks old I think? Everyone on internet searches said theirs started laying at 16-18 weeks...
Hey Chippy:
Unfortunately, the little guy went missing today....checked and re-checked three times....and, he didn't make it back to the coop this evening...maybe he'll show up tomorrow morning?
