I love these youngsters! Hatched a couple weeks ago.

I’ve been on here for years, but I guess I never really said hello. I’m a beginning Serama breeder and hopefully will eventually be a Serama judge. Here are a few pics of my birds.

Has anyone else had issues with Seramas having inbreeding suppression? I can’t seem to get them to lay very much or hatch out. My eggs develop but then die a few days before hatch.

Just thought I’d make a little thread on my WIP serama breeding shed. I used to raise meat birds in it, but those were too expensive in the long run. The pen was made by putting a wall and door onto part of our goat shed, thanks to my dad and grandpa. It’s been a couple years since it’s been...

Didnt want to run an extension cord all the way out to one of my breeding pens... ended up using a ten dollar battery powered lantern from the hard ware store as a day light lamp. I will let you guys know if this works haha.

So, I have had my flock for a number of years now. The old owners of my house left their flock, and I added onto it over time. The only problem was that the chickens the old owners left me sneezed, and now so do my additions. I also want to breed for show and sale, and with sneezing chickens...

Hello everyone! So, I have been wanting to breed Blue Andalusians for quite some time, ever since I bought one splash chick at my local feed store. Unfortunately, I could not find a breeder near me, so I ended up ordering from a hatchery. I am going to be logging how my Andalusian project goes...

Does anyone know of any show quality Andalusian breeders? I would prefer close to WA State. Thank you!

Does anybody know of any Blue Andalusian breeders?

I recently got a chick at the local feed store, who was labeled as a Blue Andalusian but is actually splash. I really, really like her personality. I know if you breed a blue and a blue, you get some black, some blue, and some slash. What about a splash and a blue? What would the outcome of the...

Hello! I was just wondering if anyone has any reviews for Just Fowling Around? I am interested in them as they are local to me. How is their quality? Hatchability? Customer Service? Any reviews would be helpful. I'm particularly interested in their salmon faverolles.

Hello everyone! I really hope you can help me with this problem. I have a Black Australorp, who is an absolute gem to people, but evil to the hens. He is young, and I am aware that some go through a phase, but he is aggressive. After mating, (quite brutally) he will continue pecking the head and...

Hello! I was wondering if anyone knows of any Serama breeders that aren't crazy expensive? Thanks!

Hi everybody! I currently have a fairly large black australorp rooster, and I'm wondering if it is okay to keep bantams with him. There are many different breeds of bantams that I want, but I do not have room to build a separate pen. I want to make sure he won't hurt them. Thanks!

Hello BYC! My hen, LeopardTail and I need some help, fast! I came home from school today, and immediately went to check on my chickens. LeopardTail was walking around in the waddling manner of a duck or penguin, and was standing upright, but her torso was very low to the ground and her tail was...

Has anyone here ordered the started pullets from McMurray hatchery? I'm feeling the chicken math.

Hello! I have recently moved to a new house, the old owners allowing us to keep their fourteen chickens. They all seemed fairly healthy at first, except for a few dirty feathers around some of their vents. We didn't think it was mites at first, but now a couple of our hens have raw, featherless...

I have an old hen who goes by the name of Rat Bird. Here she is: I was left her and my other chickens by the old owners of my house. I moved in a week ago. She is mostly blind, and is the only one who will let me pick her up. She is very old. I have noticed the other hens (I have no roosters)...

The first chicks I got were from a feed supply store, which they ordered from a hatchery. Since then I moved, and a nearby store does the same. That got me thinking, as I am considering to buy a couple chicks, What is it like in a hatchery? How are the parent birds treated? Is it like a puppy...
