Wishing, those birds are just beautiful! I've never seen a Serama.

My son saw them at a poultry show and that's how it started. Thought he could join 4H and have a fun project. 4H didn't last, but we still have Seramas! They don't do well in the cold weather, though. Need heat for temps much below 40. Not too bad here as we only have a week or two below freezing most winters.

red, you have to talk to wishing for that. I got rid of the most of mine. I dont know how that coop pic. got added in there.

I know you hated to let them go. My roo has been with the same hen most of his life. I do let him out everyday to go play with the other girls but when it's time to roost, he marks sure that I have those girls locked up tight and walks over to him and his real lovers coop. I put him in with the others for a couple of nights but I could tell him nor his favorite hen was happy. I let him out first and he headed straight to the coop she was in. I sit and watched talk to each other for about ten minutes. Since then him and his hen have their on coop to themselves again.

Aw, true love. Donut liked the other girls just fine, but coffee was very jealous. If he mated another hen, Coffee would race over and go after the hen. I even watched her knock him off of another hen! She was a little loopy. I warned the buyer about her, but he said he wasn't going to breed, he just liked small chickens.

Part of the breed standard is for them to have docile behavior. Coffee would peck hands too. Not a good trait to keep breeding.

I cant see well, I think it is next to a silkie not LF.
