I sprayed one of my roosters with Permethrin around the vent and fluff area lastnight and this morning he was not acting right. Sluggish. I feel he may have ingested some because I did soak him pretty good. I hoped he would kick of it over the day today, but when I got home it was worse...

I know of a few Serama breeders and hobbyists in KY, East TN, AL, and GA. However, there appears to be a hole right here in the heart of Middle Tennessee. I'm trying to identify people breeding or interested in Serama within about a 75 mile radius of Murfreesboro, TN. My goal is to get some...

This week I've had 2 chickens killed in their coop. The only entrance for anything to get in would be a gap from the loft or a couple of places that is about 2" wide x 12" long or so. Earlier this week there was a juvenile about 3-4 months old that just had its head and guts eaten. Last...

Just curious what people do to help keep the dust down in the barn. I've put down kiln dried "low dust" wood shavings all over the place, but dust is still pretty bad. If a chicken flaps its wings the least little bit, its like a dust storm. I've thought about doing something like spraying...

I've been skimping for a while now on my brooder just using makeshift brooders with a couple of metal wash tubs in the house. They've worked fine, but my volume is about to go up a little and I do need to get it in the barn. Can some of you share you pictures of your brooders that you've made...

I let the chickens out to free range this morning. When I got home there was about a 20' diameter of white feathers. Besides the obvious that a murder occurred.... What do you think did it? There was no other remains and no trail that was evident. It was about 10' to the barn entrance, but...

When I got home I went back to the bard to find the chicken snake thats been eating my eggs all summer! Arghhhhhhhhhh!

I'm starting this subject because so many of us are concerned about our chickens in the winter. In particular frostbite on the comb. A friend mentioned to me that years ago when they had chicken tractors that they put a 60w light bulb in an enclosed paint can and that generated a lot of heat...

Just curious if anyone in the US serama scene ever looks at what the British Serama community is doing. IMO, they seem to be sticking more with what Malaysians like and Malaysian type. Thoughts?

In one of my coops, I'm heavily stacked 1:1 roosters to hens. I have some hen chicks in there that should make it better... but do realize the ratio is off. Two times now one of my nests gets 6-8 eggs in it and about the time I'm thinking that the hen is about to start incubating, all the eggs...

Yesterday everyone looked fine.... Today I went out to the coop and noticed one hen laying on her side kind of kicking around away from the rest of the flock. Its almost like the left side is near paralyzed. I took it out and couldn't see any injuries or apparent bites of any kind. Put the...

Talk about being spastic with raging hormones!

Looks like I'm going to Bowling Green this Saturday June 27th and was wanting to check and see if there was anyone with Seramas in the immediate area and wanted to sell some. I'm just looking for a pair or trio with new blood to add in my serama coop. I'll be going to Elizabethtown and...

Just curious what you guys think this breed is:

I don't know how many of you have bug zappers, but I noticed a couple days ago the amount of bugs laying on the ground either dead or half alive. I'm thinking about moving it to one of my outside runs to see how the chickens like waking up to a bunch of fried goodies for breakfast! Anyone...

...you take the lawn chairs and cooler full of beer in your coop to relax. Right now Keystone Light is the choice of the summer. please continue more of these type sayings here! now GO!

Well... I finally put the finishing touches on my coop for my serama chicks. Here it is:

I have a feeder that holds nearly 2x 50lb sacks of feed that I built and is sitting in my bb red coop. The design is basically like a gravity fed dog feeder with a divider for 2 different kinds of food if I choose. Now that you know what I have, here is what I've been keeping in there. On one...
