By "bigger" are you referring to the size of the bird because a good serama is not a big bird! Sure, there are serama that are larger and over the weight limits but they are not show birds as is true with any breed.

Gumbii, I agreed with you totally on breeding for the variety....that is why I have 2 breeding pens of F1xF1 going right now, these are the offsprings from the pair I sold to Ken. In addition, I use the wht mottled cockerel x with the cocopop gene carrier hen in my 3rd pen to improve the type along with the tail setting. My plan is to isolate and eliminate the undesire genes in my flock. To answer your question on culls, there is no writen standard for the cocopop variety so you only cull your birds on type not color and at the same time they are show able. White is the only color got accepted by the ABA and blk will be next.
Pics of my shires & dams in my cocopop project, I don't have pic of the second hen....
He is a cocopop gene carrier, his dad is a laced cocopop silverduckwing and mom is a silver ginger (Jerry S. told me she is also carrier of the cocopop gene).
He is a double laced cocopop silver duckwing same parents as the one above.....his dad is a single laced and he came out double. I believe the one I sold to Jose is also a double laced.
He is a wht mottled, I use him in this project to improve type and tail setting. He is not related to anyone on my cocopop project so his contribution will be valuable in the long run.
She is a chocolate ginger, sister to both cockerels above.
The second hen is a silver ginger, she looks about the same as her mom. Sorry, I don't have the picture of my second hen.......I single mate all these to see what they produce.

Cocopop is a dun/chocolate colored bird with no laced, single laced or double lace. I am not sure of the hen color.....according to the book, the best hen to produce cocopop has the color similar to the silver duckwing oegb hen.

no... i said tail feathers...
like this is the standard for a, what i would say is a type A serama...?
LOL, i ♥ this guy...
anyways... the tail feathers are super short... now every type A i have seen around on the forums and at people's houses don't have that tail... they have round and long sickle feathers, and a long wide tail with 7 or more feathers on each side...
i don't want to put up pictures of american seramas on here because they might belong to one of you guys... LOL... but look at the ones that were already put up on this forum... i've been looking at the malaysian serama standards, and they say that color is 0.5% of the points... LOL...
looks like us americans just like long pretty colored feathers and full tails on everything... so it's hard to cul a serama with a huge fan on it's butt... i would want to keep it myself... LOL... but still... i kind of like the malaysia look a lot more...
