How do you say these breeds?

[Chicken Frenzie]

These are my guesses.. please tell me how if I got them wrong!
-Silkie (Silk-y)?
-Jersey Giant (Ger-si Ji-Ant)
-Ameraucana (Amar- ou-cana)
-Russian Orloff (Rush-in or-loff)
-Delaware(Del-a-wear)
-Star (Star..)

amer- i - cahhh na , with the accent on cahhhh

I was at a silkie breeder's house today buying some eggs, and I found out that Serama is pronounced "ser- ahhhh - ma" with the accent on ahhh.
I had been saying it in a twangy way- incorrect.

I don't see how or why people pronounce it with an I when there is no I in the name. . . I pronounce it Uh-mer-uh-cah-nuh if I'm talking relatively quickly, or Uh-mer-au-cah-nuh otherwise.

Jersey Giant is exactly as it should be. Jersey like New Jersey, giant like Green Giant.

Same with Silkie - Silkie, like "man, that is some silky stuff!"

Orloff is just how you think it is.

Star is the same is it always should be, same with Delaware.


If someone pronounces Ameraucana with an I, they're likely talking about Easter Eggers
