Cockerel.Hi all! This is our first (and only!) Serama. We got him/her by accident—a friend who raises ONLY Silkies and Seramas gave us 4 eggs....all supposed to be Silkies! Three didn’t develop and the one that hatched gave us quite a surprise! We live in Maine so a Serama isn't a great match for us...but my kids certainly love this affectionate little bird! I think this is a rooster given the color and development of the comb, but I have nothing to compare it to!! These pics were taken at 3 weeks and 2 days old. What do you think....hen or rooster?!?!?!? Please give me your opinion and rationale so that I can learn! Thanks!
PS If anyone is knowledgeable about keeping a SINGLE Serama inside your house during the cold months, please connect with me, I have quite a few questions, reservations and concerns ( I **DO NOT** want to keep a chicken in my house, no matter how small and cute it is....but my kids are very persuasive so I'm trying to be proactive here![]()
Thank you!Hi! I can probably weigh him pretty easily, I will try later today. I dont' klnow how tall but I can try that too. He is definitely a pure Serama. The person from whom we got the eggs is a huge aficionado of Seramas and he did NOT intend to give us one of his prized Serama eggs!!!
Thank you!Maybe something like this would help..? He IS adorable!
(Not my site or anything-- Just looked like a good idea)

OK @eggsnatcher, I weighed him. He weighs 99.5 grams. He is now almost 4 weeks old. He measured about 4 inches tall, but I think he is closer to 5" when he stands very upright. He loves to sit high up (on anything!) so he was kind of sitting and not cooperating when I got out the tape measureThank you!
