Ya, Bumble's is too big for her too...just wanted her to start getting used to it. Actually someone told me to use a "face mask" the ones with the elastic over each ear type. She just does not like it. LOL. She throws llittle birdy temper tantrums.

Thank you, whoever posted a suggestion about using play sand in pens instead of shavings!  I just switched, and it looks great!  Less dusty, and super easy to clean with less waste.  For a sifter, I cut a big hole in a small bucket and settled in a metal food steamer, the kind that looks like a spaceship when folded.  Hopefully, I'll be wasting a lot less feed now, because I can separate it from the bedding and put it back into the feeders. 

A friend of mine gave some info about me to a local newspaper reporter, about my hobby, and she might come out and do a story about Seramas.  That's why I switched to sand to begin with; I wanted it to look nice, especially since I have the chickens in a small town.  I cleaned up fast, and I can't wait to tell her all about my tiny pets!

All I want in this point of the game is to move the serama forward, it is not complicated, I do it for the breed not for my self!!

I have decent feathers with my previous set-up, but I am so tired of scattering shavings all over the yard, especially when it's full of feed.  Every now and then, I have to go out and harvest the corn seedlings from the yard.... roll

Another one from Sigi (she wrote the serama color book) http://www.the-coop.org/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=91434&page=1 I would of dig deeper in the research on genetics if I want to take on a color project.  As you know, serama is a genetic stew, you will have to untangle it one at a time.  wink  For instance, I was wrong on the genetic make up of my double laced cocopop silver duckwing many times before I realize what they really are after test mated all my breeders.   Don't get me wrong, I am just trying to help you and which ever way you want to go about is up to you.....smile
