You all could make them, you know. They would not be the real thing, of course, but would look just as cool...
Here is how I would do it... Ohiki x Ameraucana bantam-all offspring would be bearded and pea combed. Keep the short legged offspring only. Call this "A". Then-Asil or Cornish bantam x Cubalaya or Sumatra Bantam. Call this "b".
Then, cross an Asil or Cornish bantam to "a". Once again, keep only bearded, short legged chicks. Call this "c". Then , cross "b" with "a", again selecting for beards and short legs. Call this group"d". Finally, cross "c" and "d", and only keep fully bearded, short legged, pea combed, loose feathered, meaty looking ones.

A fun little project.

but they aren't gonna have the serama stance...


use box...???

 

[gallorojo]

Honestly, I'm not seeing the serama stance at all, sorry. I see no resemblance to seramas other than being very small short legged bantams-they look like short legged cubalaya or sumatra bantams, with a hint of asil type blood, to me. Sorry, maybe I'm blind?
