    Micro Serama?

    Today I weighed my little 20-week-old serama, Sabina. She weighed 7.9 oz. Should I assume that she will be classified a Micro, or will she potentially gain more weight? I've read that Micros typically have short lives. However, since she is at the upper limits, I am hoping this will not hold...

    I don't think my EE pullet is really an EE.

    Quote: I'm in Northeast NC near the Outer Banks. When I talked with Privett they told me their website was "not working". I found their phone number online. They are sending me a pricelist, so hopefully I can see what breeds they carry. I'm pretty sure she is a mix. She looks sort of like...
