Ok Junebug- just wanted to say that your avatar Serama is absolutely gorgeous. LOVE HIM!!

Thanks. I've been striving to produce quality silkied serama for several generations.

All of my seramas are dead

! Last night something managed to climb up five feet and get in a vent hole at the top of my coop and killed all of my seramas. Only two bodies are left. The other ten are gone. I hate wild animals

! Why must they kill my chickens. They can't just kill the swarms of rabbits. On the bright side my brahma trio is fine. I have since put wire over the hole is got in at. Looks like I am done with this thread

That sucks, so sorry. When you get your coop critter-proofed, let me know. Maybe put a couple rabbits in there for bait to test it out. I swing into Mansfield every couple of months, and I could meet you with a pair or two sometime

Like I said earlier I think I am going to wait a few years before I get more seramas. Right now I will just breed my brahmas and once I start getting more of the hang of that I will get more seramas. At least now I know where to go when I am ready for them again.

For those of you who haven't seen Kokomo recently. Took this picture this morning; she is currently 4 1/2 months old. Unfortunately, she appears to be heading toward a heavier-than-ideal weight. At least she's pretty!

Nice chocolate hen

Thanks! I love her color - I was really surprised when that light lacing came in a while ago!
By the by, Ken (and anyone else, for that matter), what would you think her exact color is? I've heard bronze-laced and melanized black thrown out, and I like the former as a descriptor.

Also, brahma, I'm sorry that you had to go through such a tragedy. Don't give up, it seems like a lot of serama folk are having issues this summer. We shall prevail!

I love your seramas Bobby very beautiful. On your duckwing do you have any pics of him as a chick growing up, I believe I have 2 now but it taking forever for me to know for sure.

Thank you The duckwing came a teenager straight from jerry s. The third pics down on the chicks are his offspring. I am keeping pics and records for them and my others

Oh i totally agree on to b critiqued or not to b thats how we learn. But some dont want to b. And feel scorned. But thats how most of us start. Anyone of us will try are best to help one another. And make everyone feel welcomed

I love to see picts as well, but will critique if asked by the post (er or ee)... my birds arent perfect either its a work in progress. but find it difficult to agree with breeding serama (or any dog, cat, pigeon even a giraffe) if they are not of the correct type. that is just my personal opinion. i also ask for help (only been into serama 3 or so years) and offer help. you are correct in that serama are wonderful little birds and that we all deserve respect (as humans to these tiny tots) and i will apologize in a pay it forward way if i have made anyone feel inferior

Thank you. Oh got some awesome ones coming. Just wish would grow faster

thank you on the black he looks like a green black. I asked and said it was correct. But i was like ok. Its green

The rubber bands work great for identifying them Thank you for sharing.

AND BOBBY lovin those birds of yours - looking forward to the big reveal of new chicks

the black is so healthy and black his color reminds me of a blue pheasant HE'S GLOWING

update on little rubberbands for identifying birds prior to getting their scna band size 4 for chicks and 10 or 11 for adult birds - in one glance i can look in the teen flock and tell who is who and who is from same clutch - pretty cheap on ebay
