    Ameraucana and Serama Mix

    I'd love to hear how this combination of birds turned out. I have a Serama rooster. In addition to his Serama hens, he also has an Ameraucana and a Faverolles hen. I'm super curious about the likely-hood of getting fertile eggs (I know he'll try) as well as what size and traits and egg color to...

    Can Chick Recover or is it time to Cull?

    Thanks Eggcessive. I read about Mush Chick Disease. I did not hatch this chick, so I don't know what it looked like at hatch. But I did research Mushy Chick and I can't see any solid evidence of it. I think the chick is simply lacking the muscle strength and control to move things along. I know...

    Can Chick Recover or is it time to Cull?

    Thank you, Eggcessive. Yes, I have been giving it chilled coconut oil with egg all week as that has helped in the past. Thank you for the suggestion. There is a little bit of blue on the belly. Not a lot. I know some conditions could have caused others which is why I haven't given up on him yet...

    Can Chick Recover or is it time to Cull?

    Thank you, Frost Ranger. That is what I have been considering all week. I like to give everyone a fighting chance, but I can't continue to go on like this indefinitely either. I appreciate your honesty.

    Does Egg Size affect Size of full grown Chicken?

    Hi. I understand that large breed chickens lay large eggs and hatch chicks that grow up to be large and similarly, small breeds lay small eggs that grow up to be small chickens. My question about egg size affecting the size of the eventual adult bird is when 2 breeds have come together to make...

    Hi. I'm new

    Hello from Phoenix, AZ where traditional coops can cause heat stress and our winters stay above 30 degrees F even at night! My challenges have little to do with keeping chickens warm. Instead, I am often looking for new ways to keep my chickens cool when the summer temperatures soar above 110...

    Do Incubators Need To Be Full? Incubation Questions...

    Bantam egg size depends on the breed. My bantam Cochins lay the same size egg as my very small Silkie (the Silkie was an orphan who needed a home). My seramas lay eggs a little bigger than my quail. I bought an incubator that can hold 24 regular sized chicken eggs. Because bantam eggs are so...
