Is this cutie a serama? I purchased 4 straight run bantams from rural King...I have 1 golden sebright, he just crowed yesterday..so darn cute..2 mille fluer, and one TINY gal that I can't figure out. She is half the size of my other bantams,,or maybe less than that. She looks and is about the size of a dove. As to temperament, she is sweet but does not care for anything to do with humans..or chickens, for that matter ..she hangs out by herself, hard to catch..not what I would call flighty, but standoffish..a loner. She doesn't seem to hve the carriage of a serama but maybe she is just a poor quality one..any ideas or opinions? The pics really dont show how small she is..they say the camera adds ten lbs, lol..my friend holding her has very small hands..w

She has one slightly bent toe..noticed it after we got home, of course..but pic does make it look worse tthan it really is..

Had pics of her scratching around next to sebright for size reference but can't seem to load..suffice to say that she is TTINY..thx in advance for ideas..bet she would b great to use for fresh genetics in tribbles..

She's cute, and by the look of the comb is young and will probably grow a bit more. She looks like an Old English Game Bantam. Serama legs are usually yellow or dark, not white.

I agree, Probably not serama. Most hatcheries don't have seramas. Most have OEGBs. She is really cute

We keep a flock of Seramas as pets. Most are sweet and friendly. They can fly very well. They are lovely birds, but do need supplemental heat if temps get into the 30's or lower.

Thank you! Been to the table top show in Manteca a couple of times but have not shown. Are there any good shows coming up? Not a lot of room for breeding here. Only let 6 hatch out this year. I do have a few extra cockerels and a pullet if you know anyone interested. Some are silkied.
