American serama thread!

[Lidiapac730]

Well, not much new here. My duo’s babies are growing, they are all growing. Looks like the latest hatches have been girl heavy, so I’m extremely happy about that!

I have two girls sitting together now, it’s been cold, and I didn’t think their eggs were fertile. When I checked the other day, they only had 2 eggs! Lol They were clear, so I gave them 6 (or 8?) eggs from my other pen. I forgot what day I did that. Hope I dated the eggs lol

A few recent pics for fun.

I think our serama chicks hatched around the same time. 7 weeks ago? can you show us some more picks of the babies? I would like to compare, I still don't know if mine are boys or girls.

I'll have to take some pics, but sadly, I feel both of my chicks might be male. They're still very spoiled, though. I remember my female had absolutely no comb height or color at 3 weeks. I think I'm seeing some pink in those little combs. I'll probably know in just a few more days.

7 weeks? I’d say girls but a boy could pop out of there.

I think my hens hatched some 7 weeks ago. It’s the 3 closest to the red feeder in that other pic, the 2 black ones (one I suspect is male) and the tricolor above the feeder. I’ll get better pics tomorrow.

I did do a tally of my pens today because I have a few customers looking for some.
I’m now at 37 total seramas, only 7 males, and that’s if the little black one is male. I’ll keep 4, and have buyers for 3, so I’m in good shape for boys finally!

This is my new #2 boy in my smooth pen. He hatched early summer. He’s very shy, but i like him a bunch.

I love your seramas, and how different and colorful they are! I have a feeling that I have either 3 boys or 3 girls. They develop the same, the waddles, combs are just a bit orange-pinkish. No fights, no chest bumps... At 7 weeks I thought I would know... silly seramas.

Thanks! That’s part of the fun of seramas for me. I was breeding lav orps and although they were beautiful when they hatched, they all looked the same! Ya never know for sure with seramas.
I have recently gotten several mille fleur-ish patterned birds, and a few exchequer. So maybe the breed more consistently than I thought.

I took some pics. They're exactly 3 weeks & POOF! Those little combs & wattles are starting to pop. i swear they weren't there yesterday!!!!
I highly doubt either has any chance of being female.

Mine are all black, maybe because my hen is part rosecomb bantam, I think. That gene must dominate. Also 2 out of the 3 have rosecombs. I need to keep my eyes open for some more seramas needed to be rescued. to mix it up.
