Young serama hen doesn't mate

[fluffycrow]

Yes, they can. That doesn't mean yours will, but technically they can go broody. I am a little concerned with hatching eggs from a serama pullet this young, but I in no way shape or form have enough hatching experience to be talking, so I'll tag some people. @bantamsrmyfav @WoDia @JacinLarkwell

Thank you!! Do you think it might be harmful for her to go broody now?

Also... is there no way the other standard size roosters have mated her so far??

It's likely that they have

Brooding does take a tool on the hens body, but with the right support she could brood

I thought that maybe because she is small, she will run away from bigger males. Also, the nales might look at her as a chick ..

Depends on how small she is. If she's tiny, and they are really big, I don't see a way. But if they're around a medium height, and she's not that small, then it's likely

No more than a great dane male would look at a corgi female to breed

They'll still mount and try. It just depends on if their bits meet to take his genetics

I agree, they'd still try it, I just don't see how that could lead to a successful mount. Again, if what I said above stands
