Hi, my serama has hatched 10 chicks yesterday. Posted pictures in another thread :) The thing is... when the chicks try to get under her wings, there is barely enough space for all of them. When the last one is trying to get under her, another one is pushed out. And needless to say - they are...

Hi, this morning our chicks hatched under a broody - the mother is a serama and these are her own eggs. The father isnt a serama, but another bantam small breed, and he has a pea comb, while the mother has a single comb. Some of the chicks have pea combs, and some have single combs - does it...

Hi! Its day 19 of our eggs under a broody serama. Most of the eggs have pips :). But, the mother didn't eat or drink today (perhaps because of the chicks starting to hatch she went quickly back to the nest after pooping) and I am worried because the weather is pretty hot today. I offered her...

Hi, we have just found two tiny eggs of our seramas in one of the pigeons nests. Probably missed them thinking they are pigeons ones but since they havent hatched yet we doubled checked. Well, the first thing I did was to candle them and they are quite developed - looks like day 14 or 15 to me...

Hi all. We had quite a few warm and sunny weeks here, but now i heard on TV that next week there might be some rain. And I have a broody outside! She is protected from dangers but im not sure if the place is protected from water .... will the rain destroy the eggs? Will she stay in the nest to...

Hi! Yesterday, our serama laid at about 14:00. Today, she sat in the nest at about 10:00! We were sure that it means she is starting to brood, so we gave her 7 fertile eggs (of her own - we want her to hatch only HER OWN eggs). In the evening, at about 18:00 - she left the nest and went to...

Hello! My hen laid eggs in a hide (protected from danger) but the soil there is moist. When I picked up one of the eggs I saw that there was a little water on the shell. Is it problematic? Are the eggs in the nest no longer good and we should replace them with new ones? We want her to hatch her...

Hi! My 1 year old serama has already laid 3 eggs in her new nest so far, the problem is that in some hours of the day - there is some sunlight in this location on the eggs. Its not totally uncovered under the sky, but the sunlight reaches it. Are the eggs ruined now?? I want her to hatch her...

Hi! I bought a lovely white Cockatiel yesterday. It us about 7 months old. It was hand raised and doesnt seem to attack, but it is very afraid of us! I took it out of the cage and it showed some trust, and also rubbed his vent on my hand as it stands on my hand!!! Btw does it mean it is a MALE...

Hi :) I started my flock with 3 bantams - 1 male and 2 females. One of the females went broody last spring and hatched 3 lovely chicks - again, 2 females and one male. Now there is a problem - I do want more chicks next spring but I might have inbreeding issues! Adding more males isnt an...

My lovely serama hen has just finished "mothering" her clutch of 6 chicks (2 boys, 4 girls). Now, she began laying again and I was wondering - should I collect her eggs, or let her have another brood cycle? I think I should collect the eggs, mainly because of the season - it's October now and...

Do chicks know who their mother is by her appearence or by her voice and sound? Some of my hens stop making sounds to the chicks at some stage but the chicks still follow them and recognize them from a distance... And what happens if the mother is all black and there are other black hens in the...

Hi :) I have a hen that has been raising her chicks for more than a month. Last week, she started laying eggs again. She isn't making noises to the chicks anymore, and when she finds food - she takes it to herself. But, she doesn't peck or chase the chicks away fom her. They keep following her...

Hi :) I have some serama chickens. They eat very well and have sources of all vitamins and minerals, but from what I see they don't eat enough vitamin C. I try to give them foods that are high in this such as bell peppers, tomatos... but they don't touch it. Should I put some vit C in their...

Hi there :) Its day 18 of my serama eggs under a broody (their own mother)... Today when she took her break I gently tapped the eggs next to my ear but heard nothing inside. Is it too early to worry? I have been told that serama hatch on day 18-19 ... In about 7 hours - day 19 will start...

Hi :) its the end of day 17 of incubation now and my cute serema broody has "changed" a bit in the last 2 days 😅 - First, she eats MUCH less. She usually loves boiled eggs which I give her every day in her daily break. But since day 15 of incubation (the last two days) she isnt interested in...

Today when candleing, I saw, near the air sac, a big vein. First I though its a blood ribg but then I saw movement in the eggs. It was weird because all the veins I saw so far were pretty "thin", but this one was thicker... Hope its fine?

Anyone had seramas hatching on day 18?? Is it likely?? The eggs are pretty small...

As I wrote here in my previous thread, I have a 5 months old serama pullet which has become broody and only recently we have found her nest so we let her continue. These are her own first eggs and they are very small!!! Like pigeon eggs. Tiny! My question is, will these tiny eggs hatch...

Hi! My young broody didn't come out today.. I know that for sure... She looks fine, sitting, puffing when we get closer.. thats about day 12 so no chicks yet I bet, therefore no reason why stays all day without a break. Is that ok? Should anything be done??
