American serama thread!

[WildWorks]

Seramas are classed by weight:
Class A or Micro - are the smallest and any under 13 ounces are in this group...they don't reproduce well from what I have read.
Class B - under a pound (16 ounces)
Class C - under 19 ounces

I finally got a scale and put my roosters on it to see where mine fell in the classes.


This is my oldest rooster and he is a class C by weight



This is one of my rooster from him and he is a class B bird...but he is not a year old so he will probably end up more than a pound when mature.


Cogburn was the heaviest of my three roosters and he is 17.6 ounces.

really, if they see you coming and going, then begin handling them through the day- its really exposure - meet the newest little bit- had to help him hatch, and he is happily being raised by my silkie who is also raising a couple Jersey Giants- its so funny to watch- he will run up and stare in their faces like WOW! I want to be big like you

Oh that first picture is SO FRIGGIN ADORABLE!!!!! Little pip-squeek / BIG ATTITUDE!

Ok so the first 16 eggs are in the incubator, wish me luck, having a little trouble with the humidity tho, it keeps going 60-65% I still haven't received the others. Also wanted to say thanks for all the help.

Adopted a beautiful rust and dark serama hen yesterday. She decided instantly that my faverolles chicks were her babies. She is being a great mama.

Wanted to officially introduce Hannah (hatched 11pm ish last night)
& Annabelle (hatched between 1am & 5am this morning)
Trying to think positive that they will both be girls (not so sure about Hannah though)
Are there any tell tale signs for Seramas that point to boy/girl?

artsyrobin -
Marking the size of the air cell is a way of checking for correct weight loss and so you can adjust your humidity as needed by visual inspection of air cells. If the incubation humidity is too low (very dry conditions), the air sac will be larger than normal and the humidity in the incubator should be increased to reduce the rate of water loss. If the air space is smaller than normal then the opposite applies.
