    American serama thread!

    Yes, I've also heard that shipped eggs should be left to stand at least 24hrs in for the membrane to reattach. Good luck! Please let us know how many you hatched!

    Hi Catwalk! Would You Please Talk About The "creeper Gene"? I've Heard Of It And It Is Said To Be Lethal,if I Understand Correctly. I Have Heard That Japanese Bantams Carry The Creeper Gene And It Has Something To Do With Length Of Leg. This Seems An Important Issue. Agree?
