American serama thread!

Seems my hen went broody again...they must know when I set egg in my bator....how many should I give her? Maybe 8? 6 serama 2 jap bantams?

Is she a Serama? If so maybe two or three....not sure. But if it's a standard size hen she should be able to cover 8 Serama eggs without any trouble. I've had one successfully hatch out 10 regular eggs. Yes, I realize

Ive had two seramas sit on 20 plus together so i might give this one 10 or 12.

Serama come in a variety of sizes; some can easily cover 10 eggs while others have trouble with just 4 or 5. Other than my smallest hens, I give them 8 to start, candle at six days, and discard those that are not developing. By discarding those that are infertile or have DIS the rest have a better chance of hatching.

These eggs are already a week in took them from my bator. My smallest hen has yet to go broody. The other three already did this is the second time for this hen. This year.

What color would you call this boy? He is bigger than all my other seramas, and now he's getting aggressive toward my smallest male (my favorite), so I think I'll try to sell him. I'd like to know what color I should call him. Thanks! He gets more gold in his hackles every day. I need to get a new pic this evening. This pic was taken last week. He's 11 weeks old now.

Its probably a brown red oegb if he is getting aggressive towards other roosters.

I hatched him from a reputable breeder's eggs, along with 10 other Seramas. I'm 99.9% sure she doesn't have any OEGB's.

I'd call him a black with gold/red leakage...

No, she doesn't have any OEGB's... d'Uccles and Seramas only... I had 2 Serama boys that grew up together that fought after their hormones kicked in... had to separate them... it happens...
