What does a small Serama do with a bunch of big hens?

OH MY was it a funny sight.  I took poor Kelly down by the big girls because he was crying and wanting to get out (remember he's a bacholor now and living in my garage in a cage).  I took him out  yesterday later in the evening while the hens were out free ranging and he just sat on my arm doing his fancy dance for them.  Oh he has sharp claws!  LOL  
Today started out the same way...I held him, he danced and then I thought...I'm going to set him down AWAY from the big hens so they don't come hurt him...he is so much smaller then they are.   Well, I set him down and where does he run but right in the middle of all the hens!  Doing his dance and chirping for them.   He was attached to the three young girls...it was cute.  Then two of the hens tried charging the Serama and BOY did he charge back!  It was so funny.  He was charged by three hens AT ONCE and he told them all off and no one bugged him again.  Man he's got guts...Kelly, your right...they do hold their own.  Even my big giant cochin roo didn't want nothing to do with Kelly.   He would go the other way every time Kelly approached him.  I don't think I have a very brave roo there.  LOL  But I'm SO happy that he's nice.  He still needs to be picked up at bed time.  He can't  jump up there yet.  I did get a couple pics on my cell phone that I will have to add here later.   Cory had my camera in his car so I didn't take video...I wish I could have!  I will try tomorrow.  Well, have to get dinner on the table so will talk later.  OH my big hen started laying yesterday again!  We got an egg yesterday and again today :D  It was cracked tho from falling on the hard nest floor...she scratched it to the bottom and then laid her egg on the hard floor :( of the nest. SO I just fed the egg back to her after I cooked it up.  I'm putting some padding in there so maybe tomorrow if she lays we will get a good egg.   Gotta go!  LATER!

It all goes to show you that it's not the size that matters, but the attitude inside!!

I told you. :) Serama are tough little birds! Silly boy! Phoenix likes the big girls too. He goes wild when he can see one on the steps from his cage on the porch. What a little chicken is going to do with a great big ole chicken is beyond me...lol. Your cochin boy isnt going to ever be aggressive. Its just not in their nature. Buck Buck runs from Tiny all the time, he absolutely wants nothing to do with fighting. If you have some cat nail clippers, or even human ones for that matter, clip the ends off of Kellys toenails and if he will let you, file them a little. Speckles nails are always so sharp too for some reason. I dont have that problem with any of the others, just him. I am so glad your having such a good time with all your chickies. I bet your weather stays pretty and perfect there to be outside. We have had the remnants of Fay here for days on end and its mud city and gloomy and misty and rainy here. So its been a chore to do anything outside that has to be done. I haven't been able to get done what I wanted to because of all the bad weather so I am going to keep going through the weekend and maybe I can get things done. Shelby and I start school Tuesday and that is really going to limit my free time from then on. So I got to get this stuff done that I been putting off, BUT I saw you posted, and you know I have to come see ya. :) Love, Kelly
