Does anyone have any advice on getting pullets to hatch? I have little cockerels coming out of my ears. Out of 6 to hatch i might get 1 pullet, if i am lucky.

there are theories that higher bator temps affect the survival rate of the males, they don't survive at higher temps- now whether that is true, not sure- but you could try incubating a degree higher and see if it does work that way

Hey. New to seramas. I was planning on getting some chicks from a man who breeds them. Class b what he said. They are pretty birds. What do you think?

I Am not an Expert but They do look like pretty nice Quality. Maybe not national quality But It Depends on what You want them for, Are you planning on breeding them? because You could Use them as breeders and they would be pretty good for that

 

[artsyrobin]

the thing to remember- anyone can call themself a breeder, sadly- not necessarily show quality- but they call themselves a breeder- that said, i got my birds from a top quality breeder who also had pet quality birds- for some reason or nother would not do well in show, but are wonderful- so it depends on your focus- they look nice to me, but i am now showing either

where are you located?

 

[Gevdaddy]

I breed both American and Malaysian ....all my breeders have won best in show multiple times.

the one on my profile pic is Old style American .....

I live in los angeles,ca if anyone is interested in eggs or Trio's pm me

 

[Gevdaddy]

I'd stay away from those...they don't look 100% true to the bloodline ....should you need some ...PM me

i began my interest in seramas being introduced to them with pet quality seramas, there is absolutely nothing wrong in starting that way, the whole focus with seramas is they are delightful birds and even a pet serama can get you started- pm me if you have any questions- You are in Ohio?
