This is "cowgirl"

This is "Lugia" and "Robin"

And this is "Angelina"

Just started with them and I am really liking this breed. I have eggs in the 'bator so we'll how many more are added to the "flock"

L&Schickens :

I use to have a lot of them, but now not so many. I moved and had to sell off most of my birds. But I kept some!!
Here are some I have now. Goldie and Baby Sarge hached their first clutch ever this year. They are 7 years old, so it was amazing that Goldie finally decided to sit. They have 7 babies. All the eggs she had hatched.

This is Sweety Pie. He is one of a few I hatched last eyar in the incubator. All the others were killed by a weasel.

Your dark rooster on the fence - he's awsome looking!
I like Seramas, but, I go for any speckled - and he's drop-dead handsome!

This thread has got me so jazzed for my serama eggs! I have six in the 'bator right now. I live in England, and these are the genuine Malaysian seramas - got them from someone up in northern Scotland.

Hey hey - I posted my new pet seramas, and the pair that I was given on their own thread. And the pair I thought was silver birchen. Someone who's into genetics says the hen is not, or might not be silver birchen, these are shot in the coop with a flash, so not so hot.

I also got a pair of pet males, one with interesting gold lacing, and a trio of what will probably be mottled/speckled babies. They're adorable. Here are the birchens. If she's not birchen I'm going to have to proceed as if she is and just work with the results. She's still gorgeous and gentle and calm. I wish I'd managed posed pics but with all the new birds in there, I kept just missing it.

Can't see the male well enough but the female does not look birchen. She looks like some sort of melanised duckwing (e+) with something (autosomal reds???) missing from her breast?​

Thanks Krys, I'm going to work with them as they are and just cull

Birchen being the long term goal. Like I don't have enough going on... LOL oh well they're adorable and they don't eat much...

.

Birchen colour is the result of ER (& silver). Did you say the birds were bought together?
Have you bred the birds yet? If the male does not have the ER gene either then you will not get to silver birchen using those birds. It would be like trying to make bread without flour.​

I was told that the seramas do not breed true to color anyway. I'm not proficient in genetics, but I took that to mean that just because you have a pair that are a certain color, you won't necessarily get that color in the chicks...
