Yea I saw pix of booted Seramas but I really am hoping that its a good indication that I have a silkie. I am not aware if silkied seramas are booted. if the booted is not indicative of silkie then it may just be rare feather legged and not necessarily silkie. I read lots of info on the breed but i am gonna find that info on booted i saw.

http://www.malaysianseramabantams.com THIS IS THE INFO I WAS READING. VERY INTERESTING READ.Basically anything is possible as a throwback or new attributes being sought after. I just love seramas and hope they are healthy and have the correct form.

None of the chicks should be booted if they are serama. No breeder should have booted. They are not recognized and not showable. On rare, very rare, occasion I have heard that one can pop up. I have never had a booted chick and have hatched in excess of 1000 serama.

So what you're saying is you're a tad bit inexperienced....?

http://www.scnaonline.org/standards-and-judging/american-serama-standard-and-incage-judging.html I read all the breed and judging standards and found some things interesting but it does state that the inner toe must be bare and unfeathered in feathered leg birds. Nickie only has legs and outer toe with feathered. Good to know but there are a couple terms I had to investigate. More info is always a bonus. Good thing I don't want to breed my own birds and just have pets. Too much trouble to keep up with specifics. I just wanted good eggs from a good breeder and spoil any babies I get. They are so sweet its wild to have cuddly chickens. Even my friendsand family are intrigued about the breed now.

I'm the same way, I just adore the Serama look, it caught my eye right away! That they're tiny and adorable and friendly sealed the deal, LOL. I might try to hatch a few eggs some time in the far future, from my own birds, but no breeding here, there is no room! LOL

It did read it so did I but most breeders that are serious about the breed frown apond it.

Well I ordered eggs from a Serama breeder and the assortment included silkie, frizzled and smooth Serama eggs. I was not sure if silkie Seramas have feathered legs but now I am also curious if Seramas have the bluish skin? Nickie is simply Serama with no bluish skin but I am curious if you are saying that silkied seramas have bluish skin like the breed of silkies?

No. silkie Seramas shouldn't have the bluish, black skin like the breed of Silkie chicken.

Yea I saw pix of booted Seramas but I really am hoping that its a good indication that I have a silkie. I am not aware if silkied seramas are booted. if the booted is not indicative of silkie then it may just be rare feather legged and not necessarily silkie.

Silkie Seramas aren't booted.

There is a lot of info to absorb and remember!

Castle Delight Seramas offers booted serama hatching eggs. That's where I got my NYD hatch eggs from. For anyone who is looking to order eggs, I would DEFINITELY suggest her. She has been absolutely amazing! And her prices are just about the very best I've found ($30 including shipping for 1dz) from a reputable breeder.

I hope both of them do!!!

I have 3 still going, they're pretty much filling up all the space in the egg except for a tiny bit on one side. I can't see much anymore, but yesterday I did see the beak of one, LOL. It was so cute, he/she better make it or I'll be mourning Wow, only 6 more days until hatching! I'm so excited. I've kept my temp and humidity pretty stable so ...

for my 3 eggs to make it!

I'll

for you! I'd be sad to only have one hatch, but I'd rather one than none!!!

Thanks I hope at least 2 hatch so they can keep each other company. It can be very difficult if a chick is alone (I'd go to the feed store and get some chicks there if that happened though).
