Ok that really cleared it up. I have a lot of questions I know but are seramas a broody breed?

I'm still confused about showing seramas. If I went to a big show would there be a class for them or no? Would I have to got to a special serama only show? Are any of the color patterns aba accepted?

You'll have to travel pretty far to find a Serama only show; my last one was 1300 miles. Ohio's best bet is to enter them in any open show. Unless you have a decent white bird, they will just be competing against each other, but it's a good way to get started and learn the ropes. Your closest would probably be the APA nationals at Lucasville in October and the Ohio Nationals in Columbus in November. I'm bringing all my sale birds to Lucasville to try and drum up more interest in the breed, mostly wheatens and pumpkins.

Had to show off an up to date of my only serama baby.




The last picture is what the color truly is.

Quote: I'll be showing at the ohio nationals so I guess it won't hurt bringing a few extra birds. This will be the first actual poultry show I will show at. Probably won't be going to the show in Lucasville. It depends on how I do at the fair and Ohio Nationals.

yes i only let mine hatch their own not into that whole lets sell eggs or incubator a whole army of culls . This is why I get good looking birds cause I know which chick came from which pair and who throws what ...

Glad to know they are broody. I also have two silkies I plan on letting hatch eggs. I'm not into the whole incubator thing either. I find it too stressful. I also breed and raise brahmas so I have a decent amount of birds who should go broody.

I only use HEN-O-BATORS as well, much more reliable and so stress free....ALSO so much more fun to watch MAMA with her BEBEs!

Only 6 of my 16 brahma chicks are incubator babies. I had two turkeys hatch some and a chicken. I am working on encouraging one of my two brahma hens to go broody. When and if they do I have eggs in the bator waiting for them. Just imagine how many eggs one of those birds could sit on
