I'm so sorry Elfen. I'm sure Dolly is quite distressed as well. Do you have any other chicks you can give her, or will she have to break?

Hopefully they're all OK in there :fl

Yes. It'll be fine

Not more than say 2 hours. That girl shouldn't be sitting, unless she commits more

No, size isn't really what makes or breaks the deal. It's maturity. At 1 week, they are far too active to tolerate being under a broody that hasn't left the nest. After the chicks hatch, (or newly hatched chicks are placed under a broody) the broody takes anywhere from a couple of hours to a...

OK. Candle the Parton eggs, and go from there

Just to clear a few things up. You're thinking oh giving her the serama chicks now, not in a week, right? If so, yes, she might accept them. Unfortunately you won't know for sure until you try it. Size isn't likely to be the reason she rejects them

It's really up to you. I'd say let Dolly continue brooding on her eggs. She's a first timer, so best let her have a smooth transition into it. If her eggs aren't viable, then serama chicks it is!

It depends on what you'd prefer. You can let Dolly raise her chicks up with the rest of the birds around, or you can separate them. If any of the birds start being overly aggressive, you should separate. A few picks here and there are to be expected, IME

If she decides she accepts the chicks, then no. She should leave the eggs. If she rejects the chicks, she'd continue brooding the eggs

I'm so sorry for your loss :hugs

How long has she been broody?

Congrats on all those little lovelies!

It ranges from day 17 to 18, depending on aircell development. Sometimes even more, or less
