A 1-pound Malaysian Serama chicken from Escondido has racked up millions of streams.
It was a surprising start for an interview for sure, but — when you consider the statement was made by the owner of Nubz, a Malaysian Serama chicken that doesn't tip the scale at even a pound but has more than 156,000 followers on TikTok who've liked his posts more than 6 million times — maybe not all that shocking.
"He had really bad scaly leg mites," Meesh said last week by video conference."That's why his little nubbins are the way they are. After getting a lot of advice from a lot of people on the Internet, the final consensus is that he lost his toes to scaly leg mites. We did treat him for them. When he first got here, he was also like, really, really — his comb was pretty pale and he was really lethargic. But I gave him lots of baths and lots of treats.
"After I wrapped up his little nubs, I thought, 'Maybe he could use some shoes,' give him some more, I don't know — normally chickens have really wide toes to help them balance," Meesh said."I would help guide him," Meesh said."I'd kind of hold him in them and then lure him with mealworms. And then he got used to them, and he started doing really well with them.
