Serama chicks

[Rosto]

What do all you Serama folks do to help brood your young chicks? Do you have special techniques, secrets, or hacks to help them survive?

I lost 3 of my babies yesterday. They were from show parents. I’m looking to improve my care to ensure better survival.

I grind my serama chick's food in a coffee grinder. Then I add water to it for the first week. They're so small that crumbles are hard for them. I also have towels in the brooder instead of shavings for the first week or so because they are more prone to leg problems. Hope this helps!
