One thing to keep in mind is if chickens always have an egg to lay on they may stop producing eggs for a while.

I have seen little hats that people have made that can cover the injury, if the the other flock members see it they may peck it and she will be in bad shape. GL..

I know I may be beating the horse dead but can a veteran tell me If i were to catch my seramas illness earlier on and was able to take him to a vet and they did say it was a heart or liver issue is that pretty much fatal or could something be done to stop it from getting worse and he could have...

Helping those that I can....

This happened before with us as well. We just put the one being attacked in a separate cage in the main coup. For a bit. If its one chicken that keeps on pecking on him its a choice to get rid or separate one of them may be long term. We have 2 coops one big one for the flock and one smaller one...

Thank you, yes he was pretty different from my normal hens. Hence we got attached to him pretty fast vs our flock. These breeds are real fun to have but that life span I suppose you really have to take into count. It they were 10 years the great but from my research it looks like 1-5 years is...

Thank you!

Thank you for your input. luckily, We live in northern cali and the temps right now are 60 degrees during the day. At night it drops to low 50's. The day he died the temp was around 66 degrees with no wind. Seramas can handle low 40's and some even in the high 30's. I would never let him be in...

@Eggcessive I also wondered that. I looked it up and plum has no symptoms that are related. But I appricate the info. Eggcessive I know you are a big player on here. I have researched alot and I am coming to the conclusion that our Plum died from heart failer. it looks like he was losing oxygen...

I wish my uncle was still around to help us with our Serama who just died. :(

I see it as any other broken bone, as long as you can stop any infections then I would just keep applying ointment, disinfect it and splint it and keep an eye on it. Maybe get an antibiotic. If the only other options is killing it why not let nature take its course, I would think if she would...

We lost our Serama this weekend. I think its related to yours same illness. He had pink skin on his face and his comb and 3 weeks later he was pale, his comb was droopy, and had coloration on the top, his eyes were weak and he didn't crow anymore. I Wonder if this was a liver issue. He also had...

Could this be coccidiosis?

Now That I compare the 2 images, I can clearly see his skin was pale as well compared to before. So what causes Pale skin, droopy comb and purple/blue comb, droopy eyes? Could this be a heart or liver issue?

No one picking on him, the coop we put him in he is the boss. So did your roos comb look like mine did before they died if you can remember? Thanks for the thoughts... I am kinda done beating my self up, now I am after answers and a necrotopsy is not able to happen. I have other hens and want to...

I am sorry for the loss, did it die or did you put it down. I think we take pets losses harder because they never judge you they just love and love you until the end. They don't argue or fight with you, they just want to make you happy. We can all learn a lot from pets and how to treat others.

I am happy to hear he made it, I am so sorry about your frizzles. I had 2 frizzles but they were rehomed. We kept my PLUM our other Serama that died this weekend. Can you look at my post and tell me if your roos combs looked like mine did before he died. It really has be bothered he died. If it...

I finally found a great image of him healthy. This picture was taken on Feb 16th so you can clearly see a big difference in his comb with this pic and with the other ones a few weeks later (see under this one) . Any ideas based on this new info of what happend? Before on 2/16/2024 AFTER a...

yes I would like to know this as well.

For what's its worth my 2 cents, Upon Covid we decided to raise chickens to keep our sanity and give the 4 kids something fun to do. We did not know much about raising them, we got on market place and aquriued may differnt kinds (we did not realy know all the differenaces) they were all young...
