~MALAYSIAN SERAMA THREAD~ (PICS!!!)

The bird just looks like she's developing chocolate, but I don't know for sure. I do know that choc is a sex-linked diluter of black, so If they have black in them, they aren't chocolate (males can carry the gene, though). I do have several birds that are a really dark brown where I would expect them to be black, such as in chest lacing. If I could hatch better, I could confirm what genetics I have, but I only have a couple of chicks from each parent right now, if that. A more or less solid colored bird, like what Msbear has, is a real treat in Seramas.

My pullet is brown but I don't know which gene is causing it. Is she brown, khaki, chocolate or something else? She's almost totally feathered out now and just gets prettier all the time.

Here are a couple I took this evening of the little silkied rooster. The lighter shot is in the sun and it washed his color out a lot, he's got a lot deeper red/brown color.

I think they call that khaki but i'm not 100% positive. I have one that looks a lot like that.

That is so cool, they are so similar yet such a difference in the hues. I was just told by a breeder who understands the colors better than anyone I've found, that she may be a color known by game bird breeders and that for now, I should consider her an ER allele, silver birchen with a pumpkin diluter. There is nothing simple about Serama colors

They are definitely tough for a novice, like me, to learn poultry colors with. She's nearly 3 months old now. I have a little rooster that is a bit older than she is that I plan to breed to her and I was told that I should get more like her. He is staying smaller than she is and he's very typey. She has good form when she's on the ground and alert. Her momma is a really nice B sized hen. Here is another of her

Here is the little rooster, a sibling, that I plan to breed her to. His tail is brown and he's got a lot of brown that's the same hue asn the pullet only darker brown. He's pumpkin so I think this will be an awesome cross and I may have some of these cool colors for sale in a fwe months.

Just wanted to post that I was strolling around on the ABA's website and come across the photo page here...

if you click on non standard breeds my serama is the first on on there! This is Troubadour the 2009 National Champion! This is so exciting I didnt even know that they was going to use his picture for that! I wish they would of waited and got one with his tail completely in though but ohhh well!
