I love my Serama! i had a rooster, but he was actually very loud and was "mean" he would come at us all the time, luckily it didnt hurt though because he was so small. We now have a hen and she is wonderful! for her whole first year she lived in a cage and was never handled, then we got her and he could just hold her, pick her up, ect. She was not flighty at all! she lays the tinyiest eggs ever, there so cute!
Pros: Small, easily taken care of, suprising colors of baby chicks
Cons: harder to hatch b/c of smaller eggs
I just now got my 4 seramas :) 2 roos, 2 hens, they're 10 months old & very pretty! They've laid me 5 eggs so far.
Pros: Intelligent, precocious, tiny!
Cons: May need extra care as babies, good flyers
I got my chicks as 2-day-olds from a breeder. Beyond being sure the crumbles were ground a little finer for a week, they didn't need any special care. Right now they're almost a month old. They've been flying out of their tote for a good 10 days now. The tote is in my garden tub so they fly BACK into it to eat & sleep. They seem much smarter than the other Bantams/Silkies I have. They like to roost on the edge of the tote. They 'talk' to me every time I'm in the bathroom and don't seem to be fazed at all by my Toy Poodle, who is *fascinated* with them!!
soooooo cute. love this breed. WILL get it again.
Pros: Tiny, Sweet, Low Maintenance, easy, Begginer, etc.
Cons: Flighty
I love seramas! I think it's a great beginner bird! They are Sweet, Pocket sized, Easy to house, and Easy to train! The Serama was one of my first chickens.... I fell in love with them! I had to get more! My first one was a pullet and at the moment is now a hen. So I set off to find a rooster! I luckily found a rooster and housed him with my hen, But we have close neighbors. Luckily a very great thing about the serama is that the roo's crow is not loud at all! I am now a lovely Serama breeder!
Pros: Sweet sweet birds and very tolerant! Perfect pet and perfect to show. Good for hotter weather.
Cons: SIZE!!! Anything can get them, other birds pick on them and little ones can fit through big chicken wire. Also, not cold hardy.
I have had seramas for about 4 months and they are my favorite breed!!! Recently I had a 2 year old boy at my house with about 6 serama chicks (about a month old) running around and he was rotating handing them to me. He would give me one and it would jump down so he would get me another. They absolutely love people (especially when handled a lot as a chick). I've never had a chicken that age be so friendly. I can't even walk around with them without one jumping on my shoulder! They are pretty decent layers and perfect for places with hot weather! I would recommend seramas to anyone wanting chickens--unless your going to eat the eggs because they are so tiny ;)
Pros: Smart, Patient, Brave, Funny
Cons: Loves to copy bad habits from others, Ear-Piercing, Fragile
I would say that it is very patient, letting my sister do almost anything to it. It was ok no matter how much she touched it. It only squaks when she is doing something insensible to it. It basically just goes with the flow. The serama is very nice, brave, and likes to fight a lot. It never gives up in a fight too.
