~MALAYSIAN SERAMA THREAD~ (PICS!!!)

[catwalk]

I think the younguns like to try their voices out. They're very proud of their new sound, and they want to practice. Every one is unique, too. I have 5 or 6 crowers out in the garage and adjacent room, and I can tell each one apart. Just hope yours is a quiet, decent sounding crow, not the shrill, crow-in-a-blender. Mine greet me when I get home from work, around 6:30 in the morning, but they go back to bed as soon as I go back into the house. The one I have in the house, getting ready for a show, worried me the other day, because he didn't crow ALL morning. I got up around 12:30, earlier than usual, because his silence was keeping me up; I thought he was dead! He was just hanging with the Silkie pullet I had also washed.

I normally find that mine seem to have one per group crow more than the rest. They mainly crow when they see or hear me and are pretty much quiet the rest of the time

LOL... Mine started crowing about 5 weeks old.. And they are the funniest things you have ever heard.. I will post my video once again.. I need to get an updated one because he crows a lot better now.. He's 9 weeks old now. Well.. Just as I was typing he is crowing.. Here it is! Truffles the Big Bad 9 Week old Serama.

I was thinking of getting some serama eggs to hatch but don't have a bator. Is there any breeds of hens I could use to hatch out some eggs?

Thanks

wow, i've never heard a serama crow like that. Mine are a LOT more high pitched. I do have a couple bantam cochins that sound just like him though lol

Does it need to be a bantam cochin?

I would think a standard would break the eggs. I had one break under my bantam

Hi! I was rearranging some of the Serama here yesterday and had a fright!
I moved a little barred wheaten guy in with 12 girls and all of a sudden he started standing weird, neck drawn back down toward his tail. He looked like he was in terrible pain! I thought he must be sick, so I pulled him back out of that pen and caged him by himself. He went back to normal and I couldn't find anything wrong with him, so I put him back with the girls last night.
I finally realized... he was just posing!

Couldn't catch the 'extreme pose' with the camera (they all run to the back of the pen), but it did scare me!

OK, I'm a little late here, just have too much going on right now...

Out of 13 original serama eggs, one quit the first week, another quit the second week, so I wound up with 11 out of 13 babies! Here's a pic taken Sunday morning...I have another group due for Christmas...and New Years'...and the week after! I guess it's a good thing I decided to hatch now (BRRRRR!), because most of my girls have all gone broody! What are they thinking!?! The spots on their heads are from food coloring, until I can get to band them...
