American serama thread!

ChailiB how is your mottled project going this is my second year will mottled and I am starting to feel better as the type improve over the past year ...

My first hatch is 6 months old now, I have 1 offspring from one of my cockerels, but the two pullets are not laying yet. I have a lot of pullets that are not laying!!! Its a slow process. I just have to be patient. I think all 4 from my first hatch turned out pretty good. One of the boys has a fabulous tail, but the other has the higher lifted chest, which I like. At this point, I'm doing a lot of test breeding, to discover who my best pairs/breeders are before I decide on a focus.

All of my seramas are pretty wild. They were never handled as chicks. I want to be sure I only hatch what I can handle easily...

I feel the same way about them being tame. One of the only reason I keep some smooth Serama is because I love birds that can fly into my arms when I call them.

My poor little Tribbles fly about as well as a frog.

do you have any pics to share I'm trying to tame this boy but at the moment he is wild and wants to do things his way .... That's what happen when I toss him in the cull pen cause of his leg color back then ...

ok, Im back until my generator runs out of gas. 3 days no power. Now they say it will be mid week. At least I can get on BYC now. Lost 2 gqfs full of eggs and did put several racks by the fire and had them in my pockets too. I hatched at least 25 in my pockets in the last 3 days. Lost several 1 and 2 month old and a handful of chicks but we are warm,safe and dry. At least I had my blackberry so I could look on byc but on the new site couldnt reply. Here are a few pics of the last 3 days.
