Kate's Sassy Seramas

Check this out... Totally detached air cell, and even had little bubbles around the air cell, like part of it had separated. But its developing.

So exiting! I'm hoping for the best!

Hi, I have a serama question. I have 9 chicks and chose the breed because of how friendly they were said to be Not all by any means., but my chicks, ~ 6 weeks old, are very stand-offish, and some even act terrified. I have 4 silkie chicks in with them and the silkies are curious and come right up to me and let me hold them, while the Seramas chicks cower in the back ground. Is it best to handle them as chicks or should I leave them alone? Will their sweet temperaments emerge or do they need to be cultivated? I don't want to traumatized them and chase them down unless it will teach them to eventually trust me to handle them. Oh, forgot to mention that the goal is to have chickens that are friendly and like to be held.

The pictures below show serama being held for the first time.

They are very cute, I ended up with two frizzled, one of whom is definitely a roo and is the friendliest. The other frizzle is a hen and is the most fearful. I also have one with silkied feathers which is pretty cool.

It seems like the larger they are the less afraid they are. Very true-as they age they do become more trusting.-, but tame, friendly chicks make for great pets when they get older.

This is my frazzle pullet who is extremely trusting and tame-blind in one eye. Holding her when first handling another to be tamed is a calming factor that quickens the pace of taming.

This is Cinnamon she is 6 months and is barely taller than my hand (I have small hands, haha)

She's gorgeous!!! Hope I'm still on the list for eggs

This little lady laid her first egg yesterday! She's certainly not perfect, but I adore her. She's my first Serama. I can't wait until spring to get hatching eggs from you Kate!

Of course you are

Yes indeed, they are beautiful. Are my chicks from your eggs related to these birds?? All are doing well.

I'm quite excited about my new line that I've started; they have the genetics to produce all the feather types-smooth, frizzle, silkied, and frizzle silkied. I'll post pictures when they are a bit older. I have 15 birds to select from. Can't wait until May when they start to lay.

I have three seperate lines to work with now: one for small size and personality, and the other frizzle. Kate- the two frizzle roo chicks are looking good. I think they will be a great addition to my breeding stock.

Yes they are related, I believe you have a fun sibling to both of those birds that hatched! They tend to produce the same color pattern a lot, so I can guess most of the time after they hatch. I can't wait to see pictures and I am glad that my birds turned out well!

So exciting! She is beautiful too!! I will put you on my list a well!

As someone who looks for birds of "pet quality"-personality, friendliness, tame, she sounds great. And looks good too. I'd love to see a clearer picture-she looks to be my favorite coloration.



Of all my birds, this little guy is my favorite-also not perfect.

Tiny Tim-4 ounces at 3 months of age. He crowed for the first time today. The cutest little sound unlike his siblings who already sound like ROOSTERS and are considerably larger.

I agree too, it it not always about the quality of the birds you have. But, more so about if you enjoy seramas. My favorite serama was a disabled frizzle hen that someone gave to me. They didn't want her because she wasn't "good" quality and couldn'y be used for breeding. She actually played eggs and I got 2 gorgeous frizzles from her before she died. I loved her to pieces, but unfortunately she passed our to complications.

Thank you all! Truffles offspring will continue to carry his genes

I locked down my eggs Tuesday evening, still 7 serama eggs going.

Also started more eggs last night! (separate incubator) All eggs from my own flocks. 15 Seramas, 4 chocolate orps, and 8 bantam cochins!
