jap vs seramas difference please

[kelliepulido]

what is the difference and how much do the japs weigh anyone

 

[muddyhorse]

the body of a jap is carried more forward, seramas are almost vertical. the jap wings are swept back, serama vertical, japs have very short legs. serama are more proportional to the bird

what is the weight difference

 

[blackdotte]

Japs are around 100-200grms heavier than the heaviest Serama

 

[BluegrassSeramas]

The Serama Council of North America (SCNA) Standard of Perfection calls
for the following acceptable weights based on our pending ABA proposal for acceptance.

Cocks –16 ounces with a 20% variable either way, or
12.8 to 19.2 oz (358-537 gm), without disqualification

Hens - 14 ounces with a 20% variable either way, or
11.3 to 16.8 oz (313-470 gm), without disqualification

Cockerels - 14 ounces with a 20% variable either way, or
11.2 to 16.8 oz (313-470 gm), without disqualification

Pullets - 12 ounces with a 20% variable either way, or
9.6 to 14.4 oz (368 to 403 gm), without disqualification



I read that the average size for a Jap hen is at least 19oz...... so that's larger than a mature serama rooster.

says that Jap Males weigh about 1.63 pounds and females weigh about 1.38 pounds.
