American serama thread!

[froggiesheins]

emily finally laid an egg! How many will she lay before going broody? Iwant to have more seramas. The egg is so tiny its cute

The ONLY one to be able to answer that question is Emily herself.

Hi! I lost my house duck recently and it's left a hole in my heart. I have been thinking I might like a Serama as they are tinier than a muscovy & I am moving into a tiny home soon.
Is there anyone who may have or is expecting little Serama chicks in the Sacramento area?
Thanks!

I am sorry to hear about your loss! I have house chickens and can't imagine losing either of them.


I've found it is easier to get eggs than it is to get chick. My house serama is a great indoor bird, but I had to hatch him myself. He was the only chick I got out of 18 eggs... if you are dealing with shipped eggs, hatching too many is unlikely to be a problem.

Otherwise, I have found more success looking for local birds on facebook than I have on here. The serama community is larger by far, though splintered in to more groups. You might want to checl there!

i saw a Malaysian serama thread, but no American! since 99.99 % of the serama in the USA is really American! i am very happy to see pics of them, and do chocolate  seramas breed true?


WOW this thread lives! i thought it died out, but nope, it lives, WOOT!

What is the space requirement for seramas? I have a small pen just big enough for a trio of large fowl. How many seramas could i keep? It's about 5 ft by 4 ft

well, i keep pairs in guinea pig cages or rabbit hutches, the space you have for them would be wonderful!

i keep seramas separate from larger birds - just too fragile

I have a serama hen she looks like she has a cold in her eyes she has bubbles in them on some days and a friend told me to put apple cider vinegar in her water and keep her eyes clean with warm clean whips what else can I do thanks
