    Serama hatch part 3 (and a few odds and ends!)

    I agree, if you don't have any chicks for her to mother, it's best to break her

    Are they under Dolly? It might be different if you have a broody raising them, but I have absolutely no experience there, never raised different sized babies under a broody. Dia, any thoughts?

    Serama hatch part 3 (and a few odds and ends!)

    I can't tell you when to do it, as I don't have much experience with it, but I separated mine at 5 weeks old and a couple of days. By the 4 week mark however, they were starting to look a bit rough though

    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?

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

    Serama hatch part 3 (and a few odds and ends!)

    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

    Serama hatch part 3 (and a few odds and ends!)

    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
