    What do you think of my Serama Boy?

    They’re so cute! I do think the frizzle is a little bit better structure wise, but I love the upside down U (that the tail feathers are supposed to have on the females) the other girl’s tail feathers make. If only she held that tail better. I see green legs on the frizzle. I think that’s a DQ...

    Sounds like Ursula. Wants to go broody every three months, sticks around for 5 weeks if she’s alone, if she’s co-brooding, she starts weaning at 3:th. Galadriel is far calmer with her weaning that what I’m used to with the bantams. She still tidbits here and there, still roosts with them, still...

    What do you think of my Serama Boy?

    Oh, his head looks great there! A lot of show lines have very sickly skulls, his looks great! He’s got good legs as well. An expert might find some sort of fault, but I love them! Serama should not have tiny legs; they are not Japanese bantams! Their legs should be medium in size, and able to...

    What do you think of my Serama Boy?

    Aha, I was not far off! I was guessing 5 and a half months old. Definitely ignore comments about the comb and the head then; he should fill out some more over the winter. Well, here’s the thing. I’d say yes. But I don’t know your exact goals, nor what the girls look like. Remember that any...

    What do you think of my Serama Boy?

    Thanks for the tag, Tink :) ! I have not studied the serama standard extensively, just enough to be able to gauge where my birds are at. I’ll do my best. @allosaurusrock is the true serama expert! How old is he? I’m assuming he’s rather young. Are these pictures indicative of how far he is...

    Tax, as promised. Galadriel seems to have somewhat weaned the kids. She’s not actively clucking or protecting, but still does everything else. 12 weeks of devoted care! They got their first outing yesterday. Shorter than I (and they, I’m sure) would have liked

    Looks gorgeous, but. Meanwhile I’m complaining with a single thunderstorm:rolleyes:.

    Rooster Courting Behavior

    This seems like a good resource for you. https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/understanding-your-rooster.75056/ The “rooster dance” is far from the only way roosters initiate mating, and is definitely not the only correct way (and in my personal experience, very rarely does it end up in...

    Oh I’m so sorry Perris :hugs . Losing a bird like that is absolutely devastating. She had an amazing life with you, and you’ll have all her wins and gorgeous photos to remember her by

    Thank you, hopefully I get one soon;););). I need to repot it before taking photos

    Congratulations @HiEverybirdy and Stilton on getting featured on the BYC calendar! If there is one person (and chicken) who truly deserve it, it’s you with your incredible photos (the best chicken photos I’ve seen), and your “muse” Stilton. We all love reading his stories, and seeing all his...

    LGBTQ+ Poultry Keepers

    Maybe, possibly, we don’t know yet:lol:. Huernia hystrix. Yours is Huernia zebrina, right? I love that one. Ok, so very standard succulent care. Good to know. A lot like the stapelia/orbea variegata. What are their growing rates like? Root system? One thing about transitioning to terracotta...

    Jener8or, do I remember correctly that you have a Huernia in your collection? If so, I would love some tips :D

    I’m very much behind on tax. Hope the tax collector is somewhat pleased with this recent photo (it even has three cockerels in it!) before I can pay the rest

    You’re not going to like this :p . During the summer, he had a little run in with the chickens. He didn’t catch any, but still a mistake on our part. This might be naive, but I’d rather he and his older sister roam the area, than have a fox come into our property. He can’t get in unless he...

    Yup. Thanks RC! Yes and no. The mite itself can’t be genetic, obviously. What I have recently found trough this line is that some birds are just magnets for it; that seems genetic. The pen started with three different lines. Ursula, a generational silkie mix, Cruella, an ultra mix and lastly...

    This is very much unrelated to all that is being discussed right now, but I wanted to give an update on the fox situation. About two weeks ago there was a huge ruckus at the neighbours house. The next morning, I found an adult fox dead right outside one of the property gates. After speaking with...

    Lady Gaga would disagree with him :p . He sat perfectly still for his pedicures. Even slept a little, but only if his hens were right in front of us. Chronic genetic SLM meant that any bird of his line needed regular trimmings. I had to quickly learn the best way to go about it, as there had...
