I got three Serama chicks at 4 weeks of age, though the black one is 3 week old. They were being given away free to a good home so I quickly jumped into getting them.

Just clearing up that I got everything covered for them care wise, as Seramas are fragile critters.
  • Quarantined from current birds.
  • Had a general health check, no sign of disease or parasites, though one has a bit of a head injury due to being rejected by the mother. Injured chick is active and shows no sign of severe damage.
  • Secure enclosure.
  • No predators.
  • Draft free environment in a warm area.
  • 20% protein feed until thry reach 16 weeks of age.
  • Little to no corn, that'll make them fat. They have a little corn right now as a treat.
  • 24 access to fresh water (currently in a bowl, regularly changed.)
  • Daily handling, cooing at and smothering.

It amazes me how athletic they are! They run up my arm flapping their wings to reach my shoulder. XD
