Well, Jerry got back to me about the chocolate Seramas. He won't send me any pics soooo? I don't wanna buy something thats so expensive without seeing a pic...bummer

I really NEED to read more about the genetics and all of these different chocolate colorings...when I'm a little smarter, I'll make my next purchase. I "thought" I knew enough to start my project but..... I remember reading on here somewhere that Seramas are VERY DIFFICULT when it comes to genetics, coloring....and I totally believe it now

My eyes are hurting from reading so much....... I'm only on page 35 of this thread, plus all of the other sites I've been reading

I feel ya! I am also going to breed for chocolates, and cocoapops (cross cocopop roo with chocolate or dun hen.)

It's crazy to me how expensive some of these birds are when their lifespan really isn't all that long. I suppose I'd want to get as many babies from them as possible!

Good Luck!

jose's dad loves this bird... he always has him out on the weekend to show him off to his friends... puts a tshirt on a table or ice chest, and shows everyone how he poses... i'm surprised he let me play with him this weekend... anyways, if you want to get him, you're gonna have to get thru a 110lb pit bull and frankie... but i'd be more scared of frankie than the pit...
