SeramaSilly Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I'm shocked! I came home from work to find one of my seramas looking quite poorly so I put her in a cat carrier and brought her in the house. I've just checked up on her and there were two eggs - one normal and one softie - I didn't even know that was possible!!!! :-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeramaSilly Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 Gosh I thought this was amazing but no-one has answered my post so perhaps it's not unusual at all! 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Sorry. Been busy. She would be looking miserable because of the softy. I’ve no experience of Seramas, but it sounds unusual to me. But I’ve learnt with chickens - anything is possible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyRoo Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 It could be the softie was blocking the other egg - or vide versa. Has she been walking with her tail feather down? My bluebelle was egg bound once and I had to massage her vent to get her to lay the softie that was causing her problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeramaSilly Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 No, I hadn't noticed her walking with her tail down. She's fine again today though and laid another egg!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patricia W Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 So, how long do they usually lay for? I would have thought it was around 5 to 7 years for a pure breed? My pure breed Polish laid regularly March to September until they were about 7 or 8, then sporadically till stopping about 9. Maybe they were exceptional.

SeramaSilly Posted June 15, 2019 Author Share Posted June 15, 2019 Time will tell as it's my first time with seramas but they're not known to be exceptional layers and three eggs in two days would be exceptional even for a hybrid I think! :-0 22 hours ago, Patricia W said: So, how long do they usually lay for?

Valkyrie Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Yay for happy girlie. Yes - I have had 2 eggs laid in the same day by a couple of my girls. Isn't half confusing! Don't know about seramas but Skye was laying at 9 years old. She did a couple of them in her 10th year but stopped. Oops forgot to say Skye was a pekin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
