@MadamPoofyBrow

All of the birds where having patience issues with me trying to pose them, But they are all usually better about it, If you are interested in them I can Pm you pictures From the show of them Posing Even Nicer


Pen #1

Cockerel ( He is very young, so he will Mature more


His legs are much longer and his wings more vertical, Like I said, Patience problems lol

Pullet
This is my favorite Pullet, Her and the cockerel are from Jerrys seramas


Her back is almost non existent, and wings almost completely vertical!

And the Frizzle Pullet


Her tail is more vertical but she saw a bug and wanted to eat it



Pen #2



He had just finished crowing here, hence the Funny stance
He went to the show In november and got a 74 on his card!

Pullet #1

She is my worst one, and she is Really pretty nice! 68 on her card



Pullet #2 She is a silkied! I haven't shown her yet



If anyone is interested let me know!

Beautiful birds Pete! I would love to see more pics, PM me whenever you've got some!
I'm very interested in eggs from both you and Shahtir. When will yours be available Pete?

I tried to contact the breeder awhile back and never heard back from them. :-/
Suspicious, huh?

Very...

Should their backs be really short even as chicks? Like, at hatch they should have a tiny back?

no, they look like normal chicks, but sometimes they stand a little taller

Yeah. So my eight little ones, although they look like normal chickens (who sometimes stick their tails straight up) right now, as they get older they (if they're good Seramas) will start getting the Serama stance?

I would Go to a serama show and talk to a breeder and find out if they have birds and maybe have them critique them in person!

But even when they're not posing, they have short backs? One of the little hens constantly walks around with her wings down and tail up. If I didn't know any better I'd think she was a rooster...

They should have FAIRLY short backs, but when they are posing their comb should be or almost touching their tail

You can do that!? Excuse my ignorance, but wow. I thought you could only ship eggs and day-old chicks who are still living off the yolk. How do they survive the trip?

Yes you Can!

They will probably be laying well in the spring... I can get you pictures at a show that I am going to soon, its febuary 13 or 14... my birds tend to be a little bit more willing to pose lol!

That is great! My hens sometimes seem to be a bit less enthusiastic than the roosters. So, that is great that the hens already are wanting to pose! ( remember when I said that you want to look for a bird that poses naturally and wants to...this is what I was talking about)

Woohoo! My favourite little hen, a mottled, stands very straight. She's super cute, too

I'll post pics in the morning
