Thanks Gumbii....he was 3+ months old when I took the pic, his saddle and hackle feathers are more uniform now as he matures. Hey, is it posible to create a cocopop color with dark brown base instead of wheaten? I have carefully watch my chicks lately and they seems to have most of the db characteristic in chick down feathers. I have compare my cocopop to Cara's and my has darker brown they hers. Awh man, where is that chicken calculator when I need it.

I use the positive reinforcement method to train my birds, I reward them with wild bird seeds if they do what I want. Fyi, the mealworms are rich in protein, they will make your bird's comb grow big and increase it weights.

i'm not giving mealworms... i have them on junior mix... it's 18% protein, but i'm cutting it down for them with scratch... just gotta buy the scratch... LOL...


and it is possible if you're talking about the fawn/dun or choc gene... i have seen some serama around that are dun tailed buff... wait... what dark brown are you talking about..? partridge...? i have also seen some fawn patridge hens... i think i have one from dennis... WooT!...



so... you want me to take cowboy to joey's table top boot camp...?

You can't really tell what size your bird going to be when she is at 8 weeks old, she might catch up with others in size when she is a little older. What size are her parents? Serama are not fully grown until they are around 13-25 months old.
 
gumbii i wouldnt change the protein count at all.....these little birds need it for egg production. if they dont have it no eggs. even a slight change is not good cuz it can offset a hens weight. that there advice came from grady to me and now to all of you LOL.....18% is just right LOL
