American serama thread!

Seramas do not come in lavender. I have a lavender OEGB and she is very light but these two are brother and sister and the female has the black spot in the tail like her brother, that’s why I am thinking not blue. I have heard there are mauve seramas so maybe they are that? I have no clue, lol. They were a gift from a friend and I just love em!

I would bet that seramas do come in lavender. Why wouldn’t they?

I had mauve in orpingtons. It’s chocolate with one dose of Andalusian blue.

I have done my research cause I wanted lavender and a few master breeders told me pure breds do not come in that color. So I’ll take their word for it. Ok definately not mauve but maybe splash but I think splash would have white?

I have also heard people are working on self blue/lavender but they are getting the color for other breeds so not pure yet. From what I understand it’s hard to get true colors from Seramas because majority of breeding is focusing on type not color.
Splash comes in many shades most I’ve seen don’t have white. You could test breed to a non blue, non chocolate, so black. If you get all blue chicks it’s splash.
If you hatch chicks or want to sell eggs from them I’ll drive to pick up. I love them.

@FishMtFarm here is what Sigrid said about the color. “Looks like the OEGB-blue from 10+ years ago, first generations had this light blue too. Thought splash too but had only blue and black out of this combi. Looks like dusky too causing lacing. You can check this by holding a white paper under a laced feather. If the lace stays its dusky, if it disappears its laced blue and no dusky. In medium blues dusky makes the feather much lighter and looks almost like andalusian with fat lacing around the feather that stays when paper tested.”

I have sold most of my seramas but this little girl I am very reluctant to part with. What color would this be? I would say white with black penciling but there is also cream in her wings. She’s just gorgeous.

Interesting. I never actually researched it, but since I had self blue OEGBs, I figured they had been easily crossed in to seramas.
I trust your research. I just like seeing all the varieties.
When I first got seramas, I got them more for size and variety of colors, since I was already dealing with particular colors of other breeds.

I was attracted to Seramas for the same reason small personable with a variety of colors. I actually read that because the breed is so new that they don’t breed true to color or size there is just too many genetics at play.

That’s why I like the seramas is the variety. I hate having a flock of just one color, lol. I like pretties!
