Very hot weather, eggs have pips

[Cinnamon Roll]

I had a situation like this once and I took a small water bowl to Mama and tried to get her to drink. She wouldn’t at first but I dripped some water on the tip of her beak and it eventually went I to her mouth and she decided she would drink after all.

Thank you all! Finally she had a few bites of hard boiled egg (very few). Didn't drink any water though, but I remember that the egg white has 90% water in it (even if cooked?) So I assume she is fine?

She is in a shady, cool place. No other hens can get to her.

Well, good news - the chick hatched and the hen is eating!!
Btw, I have to say that the chicks look way different than the ones she hatched last spring. A different father...

Thank you all!

Congrats!

Serama’s are good with high temps. @fluffycrow live in Greece with high temps every summer. Maybe she can tell you more if you have Serama questions.

My serama seem to do fine in high temperatures, given that they have access to water at all times, and are housed in a shady pen. In temperatures of 43, 40, 39 degrees Celsius they did not need anything else, such as hosing down their pen, taking them in the house, etc. By keeping a close eye on them, and watching out for signs of overheating, you'll be fine (provided that your serama are acclimated to your environment)

Thanks for the tag, @BDutch ! I'd be happy to answer any more questions the OP might have. I am, however, a man, not a woman

Here are pictures from her last year hatching, and from this time. I stated on the picture. The mother is in the first picture. Well... I have to say.... we expected something else. We LOVE this serama and we wanted her to hatch her own eggs so we will have more little ones like her in the yard . Last year, as you can see in the picture, the chicks looked just like her and grew to be lovely little seramas, very similar to her. But this time... take a look, they don't look like her... and they are bigger. Its a different father this time and he isnt a serama. A bit sad because we really wanted more chicks like she had last year. I guess this time her genetics were weaker than the rooster? I hope they have at least some serama "features" !

Thank you!! Do you think the chicks might still have some serama characteristics, according to what I have just posted?

Welcome & Sorry, I know/should have known . But you manage to get me confused all the time. This is probably the result of naming a tiny rooster, Lady Gaga.

Yes. In at least one aspect, they'll all do, or look serama-like. To what extent depends on each individual bird. I'm sure that you'll find behavioural or physical similarities between the offspring and mum
