This is neat.. from The Serama Club Of Great Britain

"Please note..
it is not possible for a serama with good type to be a bad colour and a pretty coloured bird with bad type is not a serama-its merely a small bantam."



Pet Grade & Exhibition Grade.

below we have compiled a few photos to assist in identifying pet grade and show grade birds.
Please bear in mind photography in birds is differcult, a bad photo can make a very good bird look dreadful and a skilled photographer can hide a mulitude of faults in a poor grade bird. these photos are just here as bit of a visual aid.
if looking at grower youngsters also please remember all serama go through a horrible ugly duckling stage which has to be endured-wait until the birds are mature until making judgement.

some of the faults (not all!) in the pet grades here.

A. this hen has very poor wing set. she is also long in back. her good feature is she has a rather nice tail and the tail is upright

B. this cockerel is very poor. his wings are too long and badly held. his back is far too long. his tail is far too low and he lacks the desired V back.

C. this cockerel has got nice wing set however his tail set is far too low and he is long in back.

D. this hen has very poor horizontal wing set, a very poor U shaped back, an overly long neck and mangled comb

About The Exibition Serama

note the common themes with these birds. proud high chests, high tails, short backs, V backs and near virtical wings

10 eggs with babies in the brooder? Just clarifying..
They are just small chickens, so its all nearly the same.

I feed a mash of soaked crumbles to the smallest chicks or you can crush crumbles to make them a bit smaller..
You have to change it more, but its added moisture and its easier to eat for a tiny chick.

I also use quail waterers for the little ones.
Watch for pasty butt on them..
Um.....but mostly like other bantams, just a bit smaller and more delicate.

OH MY WORD!! Is that not just the cutest thing!!
I've taught a cat to fetch hmmmmmmm we'll have to work on that with DaVinci

We have 2 cats (half bobcat) in the house, so as of right now we don't let him run free (that and I have to get his diaper made). I didn't get the chance to get pic's yesterday, but if weather permitting I'm hoping for today.

We are lookin forward to gettin some eggs hatched, and maybe improve our stock a little in the process. My wife has decided she wants ONLY seramas, so we are gonna have lots of these little guys runnin around by next year (barring accidents). We are being helped out a little in the process by a couple very nice folks....would really like to find some more silkied seramas (to purchase eggs from) but they are hard to find apparently...we have two breeder pairs of silkied that arent the best quality but are fun and pretty darn cute to boot....

I love this quote... "Please note..

If only I lived in the UK

I got into seramas because they were a breed of all colors and simply had a specific type to go by, a little while later "they're" trying to change that

I have to admit that it's disappointing for me. JMO if ya don't like it

That's a subject I can see people having strong feelings about and I don't want to start anything
