Opposites: One of my serama hens (Thelma) next to my brahma hen (Petunia):lol:

Hi! After raising chickens for fun for the last few years, I have started the journey into sustainability and raising my own chickens for meat as well as eggs. I started with a small seperate flock of marans and ameracaunas with the idea of using the extra roos for meat and keeping the hens for...

Oh phew! I was leaning towards girl because all the boys seem to show pretty early, but it's a pretty curious and confident little one compared to her sister so I was a little unsure.

This serama baby is about 5-6 weeks old and I'm a little stumped on gender. Any guesses? The last two pics are of an obvious pullet and cockerel from the same hatch. And the other is the whole group (lots of roos😅).

Good luck! That's exciting!

Haha me either! It's a table top show. He's very friendly and easy to handle and I've started trying to pose him. Any recommendations?

I never thought I would want to do this, but there is a local serama show in my neck of the woods this summer and I really want to meet other serama people and make some connections..so I'm thinking about entering. Most of my breeding flock are from other breeders, so I don't want to show them...

Thank you! He's a sweetie pie..named him Tater Tot🤣

Hi! I'm somewhat new to raising seramas and want to learn a little more about them. I hatched out this little guy from my little flock, and noticed his legs look white, not really yellow. Is that considered a defect in seramas when breeding to standard? He is 3 months old, and has the best...

Hi! I have a 2 week old cochin with what appears to be a large feather follicle cyst on her upper leg. We drained quite a bit of fluid out of it earlier, and pulled a few of the pin feathers out that appeared to be part of the problem. The area seems to be filling up with fluid again though...

We got them about a week ago. From what the lady said, the youngest chicks she had were about two weeks old at the time.

Hi guys! I'm new to d'uccles and am trying to learn a little more about them. Any tricks to sexing them other than comb development? I have two babies that I got that appear to have some age difference between them, but also significant difference in comb size. I'm honestly not even sure how old...

She is all better today so I believe that she was just stung! 😊

I got her a couple of months ago as a chick from a breeder. I have two others from the group and they have all been healthy. None of my other chickens appear to be ill, and I haven't added any new birds other than the group I got her with a few months ago. I've separated her, and if she develops...

I have a young pullet who began acting off today (staying off to herself, laying down a lot). She has no other physical symptoms, other than a small amount of swelling above her right eye. She's not displaying any respiratory symptoms, but should I go ahead and treat her with an antibiotic just...

I did! just added them🤣

I recently got my hands on a group of showgirl mutt chickens. Don't judge them, I know they are silly looking but I love them. 🤣 I know my white frizzle is a boy, he already has a big comb and wattles coming in. I suspect the black is a pullet. Stumped on the mille fleur, but hoping a girl. Any...

It's actually the other way around, he's very sweet and she's a bit of a bossy britches. I'll keep an eye on them, but she actually ended up chasing him off and pulling out some of his feathers each time he'd try to come at her. Guess she's just not in the mood🤣.

Hey guys, I have a silkie hen who recently started "refusing" our rooster's advances and now is fighting with him. They were raised together and they've never had issues before-she was his favorite and is the head hen. Is this a little "lover's quarrel", or will I never get fertile eggs from her...

So I'm hoping that this is good, but she laid an egg. I'm very confused because I thought for sure I felt a hard shell break in her abdomem and saw egg yolk or something similar come out, but today she laid a soft shelled egg. I know for sure it was her that laid the egg. Crossing my fingers...
