    American serama thread!

    Thank you for the information. I kept reading all the standards and couldn't find anything about the leg color so it is good to know that when the breed standard becomes more refined as more colors are accepted into the ABA that the preferred leg color will be yellow. Will this be for both the...

    American serama thread!

    Hi I was wondering which serama standard says they must have yellow legs. I've looked at all of them I can find and don't see it mention what color the legs must be. With other breeds the color of the legs changes with the color of the feathers so I always thought the serama would be the same...

    Comb Genetics

    Is the single comb that is to large and doesn't stand straight up hard to correct? My rooster has good conformation except for his comb being to large and flopping over. Will this be passed on to his young or will some of them have smaller straight standing combs?

    American serama thread!

    I have a question about size. how do the Serama compare to the Old English game bantams in size? Are the C class larger the B class the same size and the A class smaller? thanks in advance

    I got 100% hatch under a hen from crest to crest breeding

    Swedish Flower Hen Thread

    There is no scientific history of any problems with crested to crested breeding in the Swedish flower hen. So when you post your theory on this list it is taken by many who do not know better as fact. Since you claim you are just giving your own theory and not stating fact then I apologize for...

    Swedish Flower Hen Thread

    I'm going to stop posting about this now but in the past you and another person keep saying that the chicks will die in shell or shortly after they hatch if they are pure to the crest gene. You keep insinuating that this is a fact and say that is why it is mentioned over and over on this...

    When you say the chicks will not hatch because of it and if they do hatch will die shortly after hatching you are saying it is a lethal gene. It is obvious what posts are being talked about.

    you do not come across in the way you write that what you are stating is just your opinion. you state it as a fact so what your now saying is that it is just your opinion that crested to crested is a lethal gene and that Swedish flower hens are not like normal chickens. It is a fact that the...

    half the gene pool isn't supposed to be non crested the breed is acceptable with or with out a crest. It is all a matter of what you prefer

    Swedish Flower Hen Thread

    just because one person on this list had a bad hatch doesn't mean it had anything to do with the gene for crest. To say it does is just jumping to conclusions and passing on information that may be false. just my opinion. I've bred crest to crest for years with no bad results and the Swedish...

    I agree with what you are planning on doing. Understanding the genetics of the colors in the Swedish flower hens can only help the breed. I will be doing the same thing with my birds when I can. I bred a blue base rooster to a hen like the one you pictured and all young were just as would be...

    You can only relate to your own experience but can't make a judgment on just one lost chicken. The crest is easy to breed out so if they don't want the birds to have a crest it can be eliminated. We can only breed what we choose to or like for ourselves. I personally like the crested birds...
