If my memory serves me right, she's about 10 or 11 weeks. She and the little Silkie I hatched are best buddies. I can't pick one up without the other getting upset. Haha.

I'm going through a hard time right now. My RSL Fluffers is very sick and I don't know if there's much I can do for her. She's weak and wobbly and won't eat. She sleeps every second she gets.
Please pray for her.

Positive vibes to your Fluffers!!

Can someone post a pic of their seramas? I want an idea of how big they are...

The one in the back (Hercules is a Serama/Banty mix) the one on the front, Andre (for Andre the Giant) is a full Serama (roo)+. He's 8 weeks old and when he stands is the height of a can of coke...he's tiny! He's starting to crow and it sounds like "EEeeeeee.....EEeeeee" completely silly! And he thinks he such a tough guy.

I will see if I can upload a picture of him standing that will give a better idea of how tiny he is.

Finn is just awesome! I wish I had one just like him.

He is really the pickiest chicken ever.

I just gave him mealworms and forage cake for the first time. He started making his happy noises with the worms, but after a few he left them. I brought in the cake, he pecked it and shook his head.
Maybe I should just stick with corn and bread as treats.

Sunni used to be like that too. Now she eats and loves everything.

Finn is sooo cute does he like being in his blanket? Marilyn hates it.

Marilyn is still hanging on and eats less and less. I cannot torture her and tube feed her anymore. She threw up the last time I did it and I didnt even give her very much. She is wasting away, but still ornery. Knows what she likes to eat for sure. Instant flavored oatmeals, grapes, bananas, and mac n cheese. I give her crumbles mixed in with the oatmeal and chick grit too. I keep her warm, clean and cuddled frequently. She won't eat unless I hand feed her or with the oatmeal give her a cpl good bites then she will eat. I have to feed her 4-6 times a day bec she wont eat much at a time. I pray she passes in her sleep and knows how much I love her

My broody Helen is doing well incubating the silkie eggs. My silkie hen is so calm and sweet, but I'm tellin you her bf Russell is soo jealous if I pick her up and not him! Baths tomorrow lol he got poo on her back doing the naughty with her...I had to have a talk with him abt that lol Our kitten loves to stalk and tease Russell it is erical
