Hi sweets!

SERAMA Info

Their tiny size requires very little space and a pair or trio of Seramas can be comfortably caged in a 24 inch by 18 inch cage.

Serama pullets start laying at 4-5 months of age, but require 15-18 months until full maturity.
Incubation period for Serama eggs is 19 days at 99.9 degrees F.
Traditional Serama are not color bred, nor do they breed true to any one color, It is not uncommon to hatch as many different colored chicks as there are eggs that hatch.
Serama do not breed true to size. Out of a clutch of 10 chicks one can expect 1 or 2 to be small, 3 or 4 to be large and the remainder to be within the normal weight range for Serama.
The color of Serama eggs range from the purest white to the deepest brown, with many shades in between Serama are tropical and need some type of heat source when temperatures drop below 40 degrees. The Serama is the most popular house hold pet in it's native country, surpassing both cats and dogs combined.

Below 40?? Wow, that's worse than I thought. Good info though.

This ones closer.

I have an overabundance of deer too.

Dang more nice deer......we don't have a lot of deer here..... Wolves and hard winters keep the numbers down. Now bears we have lots of those.

Now I see why you were asking if the rope light would work for the Seramas. I definitely think so and I'm wondering if it couldn't be set up in a thermostat of some sort to start at 50 because it takes awhile to warm the light and dirt up.

I certainly have no cuddlers. I can only handle them just after dusk. Later in the night or near dawn, they're ballistic if something touches them.

There's nothing better than a snugly turkey! I have a very cuddly hen, a very possessive hen, and a protective tom lol. The rest of the hens come for attention when they're in the mood. Sometimes, I can have 4 hens pushing against me for attention in the front and one or two shaking my sleeves or pecking my back because I'm not paying attention to them lol
