American serama thread!

My little roo started practicing to crow today. It was very alarming! We thought an outdoor bird had gotten inside somehow! He tries hard, but he just sounds like a musical sneeze. Doesn't stop him from being proud! He's been strutting around showing off all day, the ham. I need to get more of this breed!

When they first start crowing they sound like a rusty hinge!

Aw, how cute. Luckily the two chicks I hatched out were pullets. One of them has started squatting!

Hi this year I will be doing the New Years hatch a long. Could some point me in the right direction for some hatching eggs. I would some class a or b seramas. Thank you

I got my eggs from bhep on here I had a great hatch. And some very small birds only a couple size A but very pretty birds, and out of my shipped eggs 75% hatched!

when do they start doing that! I have a 5 weeker that is awfully red in his comb!

I got mine from BHep too. I have one class A and what I believe is a class C.

Here are my males I think at least. All except one are on their way to c class just comparing to the others. They came from bheps eggs. The one with red comb has an attitude. But I think he's the prettiest one.

These are what I think are females. They are very very small the barred looking one I'm on the fence about. What do y'all think?

these 2 are serama/ ameraucana crosses. I love them I believe they are both female.

Chip was born on 10/04, jmcgee! His comb started to darken enough to notice at only 2 weeks, so he might be a little early on the crow boat. It is different for all roos, some start earlier than him, some have lost their chick voice before they start. Today I can see the tiiiiiniest of spurs getting ready to start showing, little button marks on his legs. Here are some photos from 3 days ago or so, he looks a little lopsided in the chest because he ALWAYS stuffs his piggy crop full:





I would weigh in on the sexing of your babies, but I've only got two chickens right now, so I don't think I've got the experience to say. The light mottled one doesn't scream roo to me, but if they are in the brooder with mega-roo there in the first picture their development might be a little supressed.
