Updates from me.
No urinary issues for Archie but we still can't figure out what caused his prolapse. We still have a few things to do that may help figure it out.
I've decided to go with what the vet said was okay and add even more wet food into his diet.
The broody hens should be hatching...
The vets are getting more urine from Archie.
The results from the last test had crystals pop up but she said that because it had been sitting before being testing, it's possible for the crystals to have formed.
I know it isn't good but I'm hoping that the urine issue is what caused his anal...
In case anyone was wondering why Archie is in a cone, he had another prolapse involving his butt.
The vets and I are trying to rule out everything.
They got his urine and blood to do testing.
Tiny came along with me to do a coffee run at Dutch Bros.
Little dude just dug through the bedding the entire time until I picked him up so he could perch on my finger while I showed him off to everyone.
They love seeing my birds

When I was locking up the flock last night, I found Tiny(our new Serama cockerel) underneath Scout's wing
I was going to get a photo but when I came back, Tiny scooted out from underneath
We have another Serama hen that is broody. That makes 4 broody Serama hens in total.
I think what I'm going to do, is buy 1 dozen of the eggs I'm getting tomorrow and put them underneath the 2 hens that are sharing a nest.
Meanwhile, I'll be getting chicks for the other 2.
On Saturday I'll be picking up 2 dozen Serama eggs from a breeder who is going to have a booth at the Kalama poultry & small animal market.
She shared pictures of the parent stock and explained that she only breeds to the standard.
She did mention that she has a separate flock of frizzle Serama...
You know those moments where you wish you'd gotten it on video?
Well
I just had to "rescue" one of our senior hens from the roof. She somehow flew up there but forgot she could just fly back down until I shook a feed scoop...
