thx... swarthy looks better than yellow IMO... i'm gonna look out for that when i buy birds soon... i thought the only colors accepted were yellow and willow...? willow is green with a yellow stripe right..?
Willow is either a fault or a DQ, can't remember which right now. They should...

You have a good point there Gumbii. Sometimes those forums start feeling so competitive it takes away the fun, especially for those of us just starting out. To have someone tell you your bird would look better deep-fried with BBQ sauce is, well.... not how you inspire people.
yeah, i...

interesting... i still don't understand leg genetics... i thought i never had to deal with it... but now i know... need to find the leg thread and scope it out...
or... in serama, is it the same as their color...? like all random and genetic soup...?

Now that I read back my post was a tad snappy like, I didn't mean that smaller birds were skinny, but that they were small and not to standard.The hen I have is a rescue, and I think she came from a breeder trying to get some pretty petite chickies. Congrats with your Khaki rooster, I...

i figured that a quality black serama with yellow legs would kind of be impossible... since every other breed that has different color variations, black, blue, self blue and other dilutes will have different colored legs and still be an exception to standard/show...
also, that's kind...

i agree 100%... although, these aren't underweight... even the offspring are tiny... luckily, i scored a pretty big khaki rooster, so hopefully, he'll be a proper size...

so, is that why all "american" serama look very much like OEGB...? so far, i've been seeing more and more gigantic tailed serama and some a bit taller than most... i always thought serama were the smallest of the chicken breeds... but some of my OEGB are a couple of ounces under a type...

I am sure it will be altered based on variety as it moves forward it is very very difficult to get a yelow leg on Black and Blue Birds. Not impossible but very hard. the other thing to keep in mind teh more OE that are brought in to the Serama to stabilize color the less you will see...
just playing... LOL...
but srsly... i find it kind of ugly... very ugly... ha... but i see that everyone has yellow legged serama now... and malaysia are super pricey to get shipped... oh well... i would want to have white legged birds...
do blue seramas also need to have yellow legs...?
who picked yellow to be the standard...?
they're so ugly and hideous...
reminds me of cheap meat bird legs from the grocery store... why couldn't they picked white...? or even slate like dutch...
who should i shake my fist at...?
