American serama thread!

[miss heny]

i saw a Malaysian serama thread, but no American! since 99.99 % of the serama in the USA is really American! i am very happy to see pics of them, and do chocolate seramas breed true?

WOW this thread lives! i thought it died out, but nope, it lives, WOOT!

Here's a couple Then and Now pics..

My very first Serama (Hedwig) in February of this year.... about 5 weeks old?

Taking a dust bath in her food bowl

Her favorite perch

Doing Karaoke with the kids (2 months old

I'm curious as to why someone like this newcomer would want to cause controversy. Is it just that people want to be ugly? Or do they have some kind of scam they're working? It's weird. Of course I know some people are sick and emotionally unstable and need to argue and such, which is all this probably is, but I just don't see the point. Regardless of what anyone wants to think, we now have an American version of what we call a Serama, we will make of what we have the best we can. If one were to believe the Serama in the United States were actually bred from Golden Retrievers rather than chickens, it no longer matters. We have what we have and those that like them, like them.

Why does this keep happening to our thread? We go along happily and another dip stirs up our peace? Ugh!!

All of the birds pictured are kapan. But they do look good enough for what they are.

Rumor has it, some true serama are currently in the process of being imported, so maybe that will help.

Since there are no imports currently allowed into the US, I have to think your "rumor" is just that, a rumor. Honestly, we don't care what you want to call our birds, i.e. kapan, serama, dogs, or ugly. We like them. We have a standard of perfection and we breed to that standard and that is all that matters. Everyone here enjoys their birds and correct me if I'm wrong, I don't believe anyone asked if their birds were kapan, serama or what you thought of them. If you want to critique birds, perhaps your time would be better spent on one of the sanctioning body forums. I'm sure they'd enjoy hearing what you have to say.

@Chichero
I like your hen's name "Smidge." I have her opposite here: "Smudge." Smudge is a very large, black, English Orpington hen - weighing about 10 lbs.

Gotta love her fierce broody glare!

I think English orphinton are so beautiful... Think a lot of people get disappointed by their hatchery buff orphintons. They expect those big girls.

Ours are the BIG ones! Several people ask if they're chickens or turkeys.

My all time Fav roo:

Here was Smudge as a baby / pullet.

I think I finally got one group of all pullets. I believe these 5 may all be girls, and 4 are silkied.
But from Carrie’s quad, three of them are male.
