So so so jealous!! I nearly bought some eggs to incubate last night but then cancelled the order as by mid to end sept it will start getting cold and dont want to put such young and small birds through that at such a young age. As muck as im jonesing for seramas i have to think of the bird first, but come march next year im fireing up the incubator and having serams and maybe some modern game, im still struggling with the idea of having to wait but i know its the right thing to doI got three Serama chicks at 4 weeks of age, though the black one is 3 week old. They were being given away free to a good home so I quickly jumped into getting them.

Just clearing up that I got everything covered for them care wise, as Seramas are fragile critters.

- Quarantined from current birds.
- Had a general health check, no sign of disease or parasites, though one has a bit of a head injury due to being rejected by the mother. Injured chick is active and shows no sign of severe damage.
- Secure enclosure.
- No predators.
- Draft free environment in a warm area.
- 20% protein feed until thry reach 16 weeks of age.
- Little to no corn, that'll make them fat. They have a little corn right now as a treat.
- 24 access to fresh water (currently in a bowl, regularly changed.)
- Daily handling, cooing at and smothering.
It amazes me how athletic they are! They run up my arm flapping their wings to reach my shoulder. XD
