American serama thread!

[nchls school]

So I did a quick internet search. It seems that there is a sizzle breed listed as being in development. I couldn't find much info, but it appears to be standard sized.

I know the term sizzle as a descriptive feather type has been around awhile. Perhaps referring to your birds as sizzled serama will help clarify things for people.


Right now I have 18 silkied serama eggs in the incubator along with some Bantam EE and banty EE X serama eggs.

I'm trying for a serama type bird that lays green eggs. Always fun to try something new. Good luck.I'm never going to show, so I'm mainly focused on producing a small healthy bird with good personality.

X 2, Small. unique, with a great personality is my goal. Below is Dinky 4 ounces at 9 weeks and has the most trusting friendly personality.

Back when I first hatched serama, the population in the U.S was so small that people had a lot of concern about inbreeding. Especially with non standard feather types. I remember being warned away from frizzled seramas because at the time some thought frizzled had a higher % that carried the short leg gene. What are the feelings on potential genetic issues now with the breed 7 years later?

I have two Frizzle serama. The little hen is a brooding fool, but because of her size and the weird feathering that allows an egg to be covered, but is actually not under the hen, I only give her 4 or 5 eggs. Her fertility is no different than my normal feathered bird. Her chicks are not short legged.

I just had one little black and tan chick hatch out under a Silkie mutt broody....she's not a bantam size and yet not a standard size....just a pretty black hen...actually she may be the only hen from my adventures into the "Bobs" "pure black" chickens....the ones that came in assorted colors....Anyway, big Moma is taking good care of her lone chick....that was one egg out of 8....I candled the remaining 7 and none showed any development...
