Hi! I have a flock of "regular" sized chickens (two breeds), and 4 month ago I've brought two serama chicks - a male and a female.
The female serama is 4.5 months old now - and today she laid her first egg!!! I was extremely surprised since I have always known that 6 months is the time.
Anyway, I have noticed that the serama rooster is intrested ONLY in the other big hens, and doesnt mate with her. And I assume that the regular sized roosters won't mate with such a small chicken...
It is important to state that she squats to me when I touch her or hold her.
The male serama doesnt seem to try mating with her, but does chase the big hens.
What can I do the make sure she mates with the rooster?? Is there any way to check that the egg she lays is fertilized?? I want her to incubate her own eggs. What can I do? Please, help!
Thank you!
