American serama thread!

Ducks! I had them. I would recommend a fenced area...... I think every time they take a step stuff shoots out the back of those critters! Not conducive to a stroll around the yard if you get my meaning.

I have about 90 chickens (large fowl all the way down to serama) and about 25 bantam call ducks. They do fine together. They pretty much stay to themselves though. For the most part the calls are kept enclosed but occasionally I will let them free range for a few

I had the chickens turkeys geese and ducks all doused together. Have two coops to seperate them but they chose to run and roost together! The chickens and such used to poo on the poor things at night. Another thing is the waterer the ducks were terrible with the waterer they would empty one in a matter of minutes. They would get in there and just chattertheir beaks together and splash all the water out.

you cant keep drakes with hens though right? wonder if LF roosters would look at serama roosters as babies

I have a nipple water system in all 10 coops including the duck coop but when I fill their pools out in their run they splash it everywhere. Yes, the drakes and hens stay together. I have about 8 drakes in the group

I don't let my large fowl anywhere near my serama. I had a little male get out last year when I opened the door to their run to go in and feed. In a matter of seconds he was gone. One of the large fowl either though he was a chick or a small rodent or something and snapped him right up. They do fine with the normal bantams (cochins, duccles, wyandottes) but the serama are just too small. They have their own "free range" time inside of a large covered puppy play pen

I did with no issues. As far as the seramas although they are small they have huge egos from what i've read and will not hesitate to confront a full grown rooster. I have never personally put them together
