Hi Mikey,
I sell my Serama chicks for $15. I don't keep them to be old enough to tell which ones are SQ and which are PQ, since I don't have a big enough yard for grow out pens. Mine are smooth and frizzle, class A or B parents. If you want to see them they are at
www.azseramas.com. Once they all molt, I need to get new pictures because they have matured a lot, and their chests have filled in nicely.
I do have one hen from the person on the slideshow (Priscilla), another hen from this person's friend (Mama Cass), and then two hens (Marilyn and Celiene) and Elvis from Amy Bullock (the SCNA rep for AZ). Amy sells hers for $15 for willow color legs, or $20 for yellow color legs when she has young birds available ... and then on up to hundreds, depending on frizzle or show quality. My sister in law is friends with the lady with the slide show and she is how I got so interested in Seramas. Then I started looking for other breeders, since I wanted unrelated (as much as possible) birds and found Amy too.
I have tons of chicks right now, suddenly now that the weather is better I'm getting 100% hatches - so 4 - 6 a week! It's really crazy. I have a lady coming to pick up 4, and then I have two more that just hatched and another 3 going into lockdown today. In the summer we were just getting 2 here and 2 there. If we keep getting so many we might have to not put so many in the incubator!
Oh, it's so cute! Celiene has been super broody, so we let her have two day old chicks for the first time, and she is SO happy! She is such a good mommy, taking them all over for food, and keeps them tucked up under her wings so cute
We had been afraid the hen wouldn't accept them before, so never tried it. We're going to do it every time we have a broody now
I'm trying very, very hard not to get a few Seramas. How soon can you tell if you have a roo? Do you ever have any little pullet chicks and how much would they cost?
I don't usually keep them until they are old enough to tell if they are boys or girls, since I'm in a HOA ... one roo is risky enough since I'm illegal for my lot size too! Someday when we have an acre, I'll keep them long enough to know which are boys/girls, and which are show quality so we can start showing them. I might show Phyllis in February if she keeps looking so good. I would take Elvis and Marilyn, but all of my almost 1 yr olds are moulting, so who knows what they would look like by then!
