    The tiny serama; a Hatching adventure

    Right! Photos! Well, to be honest, I was sort of avoiding sharing pictures, simply because the pens are a bit of a mess right now:oops:. It doesn’t help that their favourite spot to hang out is right under their roosting area, and as such the messiest part of their pen Here is one relatively...

    The tiny serama; a Hatching adventure

    It’s been a while since I last updated this thread. All the broodies ended up keeping their young for way longer than I expected, and/or am used to seeing from them. Unlike all previous batches, the girls never forcefully kicked out the youngsters. Right now Fig/Fern is acting like a mature...

    The tiny serama; a Hatching adventure

    This particular olive tree is growing I side their pen! Even with the experienced birds, I'm not doing full free ranging hours yet. I'm really annoyed about that. Both the chickens and I love free ranging

    The tiny serama; a Hatching adventure

    Thank you for asking! He's doing really good. Shortly after being added to the bantam pen, Foureira started hanging out with her sisters, so he doesn't interact too much with Ubon. Foureira still lets him hang around. Ursula and Ocean do the same for Ubon. I'm sure both chicks will hang out and...

    The tiny serama; a Hatching adventure

    Hmm, I guess we see a little differently on this matter, but I totally get where you're coming from. I very much prefer a male that doesn't have "sacrificial" tendencies. It's unfortunately one of those qualities I find least helpful in the long run, especially if one free ranges. The whole...

    I would like to extend a massive congratulations for @WoDia on this thread as well. Congratulations for getting the spirit badge, very well deserved:ya!

    Thank you tlcmurphy. I would've typed the whole thing again, so this saved me a lot of typing:lol:

    The tiny serama; a Hatching adventure

    Thank you :hugs . So far it seems like one definitely is. I won't lie, I'm not thrilled about his conformation. I am not sure if I'll be keeping him, although I want to. That's why I don't like roosters that play the role of protector this way; they end up getting killed. Kolovos is much...

    The tiny serama; a Hatching adventure

    Oh my, I'm so sorry for taking so long to respond, WoDia! The notification found me at a busy time, and I had one of those "I'll check later moments", only to forget about it! I'm still not sure I've processed Lady Gaga's passing. Every day I have to remind myself "oh, he's not here". Life...

    The tiny serama; a Hatching adventure

    Thank you, TwoCrows. That is a huge compliment. I completely agree. Our birds, their interactions, and their daily doings. I've learned a lot from them, and still do every day

    The tiny serama; a Hatching adventure

    Further to the last point, I am reminded of yet another reason of why he was so great; his and Cruella's relationship. She was his favourite, and he was her favourite as well. Cruella isn't head hen, but Lady Gaga still went to her, and would put more effort into a relationship with her than...

    The tiny serama; a Hatching adventure

    I doubt it, but I am very much biased. Although I regularly mentioned how great Lady Gaga was, well, I should've mentioned it more! I've never had such an all-around great rooster before. Yes, Kolovos (before having his spur problem) is the best when it comes to his hens (considering the...

    The tiny serama; a Hatching adventure

    Yes, I find that natural brooding works best for me. Not that I don't love hatching, I think it's one of the coolest things ever, I just think that they have a much better life when they're raised by a bird of their own species (sometimes even from another avian species). So far I haven't run...

    The tiny serama; a Hatching adventure

    I think I'm already at that point! That's not me complaining, I love it! So far, every girl in the bantam pen goes broody. So does Galadriel, Big Red's daughter in the free range group. She has four biological children, three of which are female (the male is actually your chick, WoDia! He's a...

    The tiny serama; a Hatching adventure

    Thank you both :hugs . Indeed, WoDia. The group dynamics have definitely changed. The serama group was the closest thing I got to a tribe. Now both the birds and I will have to restart. The Tsouloufati hen/pullet (I'm assuming that's who you mean) wasn't in with the mix breed bantams, similarly...

    The tiny serama; a Hatching adventure

    Foureira seems OK, although I'm sure she was stressed for some time. She's started roosting on the roost bat with Fig, so she's getting closer to letting him go now The others seem good. They are obviously shaken up, but it's OK. They never knew Fern, so that didn't stress them out much, if at...

    The tiny serama; a Hatching adventure

    Thank you :hugs . Fern still hasn't showed, and would have surprised me if (s)he did. Foureira seems to be doing ok

    The tiny serama; a Hatching adventure

    The serama trouble seems to be never ending... Since yesterday I can't find one of Foureira's chicks. They've not been taken out since before the fox incident, not open doors or any holes to get out through, and no sign of extra feathers or anything, that would indicate it being taken as prey...
