SeramaSilly

Thank you Cat Tails👍

Just bumping this to see if anyone knows please?

I usually use Invermectin to stop creepy crawlies on my seramas and I wondered when I can use this on my 15 week old pullet - does anyone know?

She's 12 weeks.

Thanks Mullet - I'm just worried about the chick becoming stressed because obviously there is a big disparity in sizes - the chick is tiny still.

So of my two serama chicks that I hatched with two broody seramas I only have the female left as the male went to his new home nearly two weeks ago. My problem is that one of the 'broodies' is now laying eggs and has started to be really nasty with the chick. I've separated for now but I don't know how I'm going to be able to do this long-term as I only have the three seramas - any suggestions?

Come on Merry - we're all rooting for you!!

Really hope you managed to get some meds for her - please keep us updated! x

My seramas hatched on day 19.

Looks a girl to me!

Aw glad it worked out - very cute chicks and a beautiful little girl you have! x

What an awful situation for you! I think if it was me I'd remove Alice but perhaps see what others think first. Best of luck! x

Exactly the same happened to me and both mum's were very attentive. The only problem I had was one of the hens was very over-exuberant scratching through the bedding looking for food for the chicks and sending them flying if they got in the way and I actually think she trampled one and killed it. I also lost another chick who managed to get tangled up in the other mum's feathers and sadly was strangled. I think just see how they go when the chicks are hatched but be prepared to take one away if there's any sign of aggression or one of the hens is 'over-exuberant'. I think I was very unlucky and I separated one hen for a while and put it back in when the two chicks I had left were a little more robust. Here's a pic of the two mums and one of my 6 week old chicks. Good luck x

Oh she's lovely - did you say she's an araucana? She's got a very serious look which is really sweet!

Thank you Luvachicken! I'm not going to lie it made me ridiculously happy!!
