American serama thread!

[managsd]

I am very new to Seramas, but I love them, and enjoy learning about them.
I have a 6 mth old cockerel and 3 - 1.5 wk old chicks.
Hopefully by the end of the summer I will also have a nice pair or trio from a local show breeder.

Hey, I will be getting Seramas soon. What is the smallest kind? A or B?

 

[ShelbyCoral]

C?

 

[insanity]

A is the smallest class.

I find it interesting that there is so much talk about A B C class and size. When you go on a breeder/show thread they never talk about size unless it is over a pound as it would DQ the bird if it gets to a Tier 2 judging.

The smaller the bird the more likely it is to have reproductive problems.

Now, that said, When they are just pets (like mine) size is of no consquence.

I did have to have a "Class A " (approx 8 ounces) size hen spayed as her eggs were SO LARGE they would have killed her as the second egg she laid broke inside her!!! Her personality was such that I was willing to pay the price to be able to keep her.

Males can be infertile also when they are very small.

Remember, a tiny egg will NOT guarantee a small bird. that egg has to be large enough to allow a chick to develop enough to be able to hatch, so be careful of setting tiny eggs to hatch.

OK, I am off my soapbox now go play with your WONDERFUL birdies!

I love the whites! Does anyone have a full white flock?

PM RedRoosterFams here on BYC, Anna has a white flock. She is in Washington state.

Nooooo ... 3 of the 4 little cockerals I have suddenly just have thier tails turned sideways... They weren't like that .. very odd. I didn't breed these so Idk about the genetics and if this is wry tail.. the other little rooster I got is just dandy with his tail....I'm hoping yall r gonna tell me its an awkward growth phase.. but if its wry tail what do I do..
