Chocolate Serama Breeders - dun and blue can be included here as well

[smoothmule]

Julie,
The chocolate looking chick is very likely chocolate then, Ruth has had some chocolates, I don't think she has any right now but a rooster can carry chocolate so there's a very good chance. Ruth lives almost 2 hours from me but works only 45 minutes from me and we swap from time to time. She has very nice Serama's so you should see some very good type when they're grown


I live south of you too, just north of Springfield. I have several Serama, working on perfecting my blacks and chocolates but I have other colors too.

I am hoping to show at least a few of these in tabletop. Not sure how much/if I'll be breeding yet, but as fun as these guys are something else might have to go to make room for more of them. I'd like to have a pen or 2 for solid colors, and 1-2 pens just for fun to make different colors. I think that's why I like them so much, more choice with what to do with them.

Pics from today, with and without flash. He's gotten darker, I thought he was maybe just black but he still sort of looks brownish to me.

He looks black. You need to take some pics outside in natural lighting

This is the backside of one of my chocolate hens. The lighter areas are red leakage. I'm still working towards the "elusive" solid chocolate rooster with no leakage. This has not been an easy job. Hens with this much leakage are sure to produce leakage in the cockerels they produce. I finally have a couple of black cockerels with no leakage and a couple of chocolate girls with no leakage......we'll see but I am expecting it will still be another breeding season or two before I have the "right" genes to make a solid chocolate male.

Another picture of Latte. She has a lot of red leakage. It's actually sort of attractive on the chocolates but makes it very difficult to get good solids

Here is Bella Blue,

Thanks! I'll get some pics of them out in the sun sometime in the next few hours. It's nice enough today. Beautiful birds!

Here he is outside. He has gotten quite a bit darker, but my wheatenish cockeral has gotten lighter.

Yes, he's definitely black. Can you see the bit of green sheen in the sunlight? A chocolate won't have that
