~MALAYSIAN SERAMA THREAD~ (PICS!!!)

[Memphisjourney2seramas]

nurseshelly- I would seperate her...other wise all your seramas want to go broody! (or at least that was the case here) If I have one go broody then a week later they get one to join them and then we the first set of chick hatch they both get off and leave the rest of the eggs. And mark the eggs other wise you forget which is which when someone else sneaks in and lays one. After you have one broody hen you will see how much easier it is than an incubator! I usually let them set on about 4-5 eggs.

My little broody is going for round two. She and her sister hatched 2 eggs back in April. Yep, after the one went broody, the other joined right in. They shared the nest, eggs and the 2 chicks!
This time around it looks like she is going solo and is sitting on 12 eggs all by herself!! We shall see how that works out. So far so good. She is one flat little bird covering all those eggs.

anyone know if gold wing, or gold bar is any type of serama, and if so pics??? as a guy i know says has some, but describing serama.. they are six inches high at most, but they wont get any eggs, to hatch or chicks to live to adult hood. is this a class A and why not breeding/fertility good? or are they probably a tiny type of OEGB or similar tiny bird?

The picture with the kitty is TO DIE FOR CUTE!

I have a question for you......did that breeder say she had any other birds at her house that have or had a respritory problem?? It would be very interesting to find out because it would help in the caring of him.....It is possible that this is all because of stress from shipping..but on the other hand.....If the breeder hasn't been truthful about respritory problems at her house...well...its almost like flipping a coin. I pray you find some wonderful soul to take this adorable guy.....

You know he wasn't shipped. I found the breeder through bluegrass seramas in Kentucky. Bluegrass seramas on the forum was out of any birds and said this breeder was local to and had seramas. The breeder was very helpful. She picked out the chicks for me. We did all the business long distance and my husband met with her at an exit as he was leaving the state and driving back to south Carolina. Even though the drive was 8 hours the breeder had diligently packed the goop electrolyte crap for the birds to eat and she had orange slices in the food too. The chicks were in a separate box. Perfectly healthy little pullets like I asked with a fifth she sent extra that looks like a boy.

She apologized about it being sick. She said maybe it was stressed from the drive but was unaware if the bird being sick prior. She seemed like the type not to sell a sick one. She was judgemental on some of her stories of her experiences with other peoples birds she has seen. I got the rooster for free. He was free because his tail feathers were pulled out that morning by her daughter who tried to catch him out the pen. Sounds like he was chased around a bit. She was embarrassed about that do she gave it to my husband and didn't charge him.

I'll keep it in mind ... probably for tomorrow. For today she decided fine food, company and fresh beverages were more fun than sitting on eggs, so I waited long enough to be sure she wasn't going back and then took them (about 3 hours later). I did get an extra carrier for Elvis too, just in case

I'm sorry I did know that hubby drove him home....I guess my use of "shipped" was alittle too broad.

Ken, below is the European written standard description for the Double Laced Cocopop Silver Duckwings hen that I am using as a guideline for my cocopop project. If you read it closely then go look at your bird that you think look just like Jerry's bird and tell me if there are any differences. To breed for different shade of cocopop like what you are doing is easy but to breed em according to a written standard description is not an easy task as you thought Bro. This is what separate a real breeder from a multiplier of the color variety.

Btw, your hen is a Pg pattern and Jerry's is a Pg+Ml+Co, you need to dig deeper in your research then just relying on the phenotype. Jerry's famous words "your time, your dime and your bird". Good luck.

Hen: head and hackle wheaten coloured with a silverish lacing and in lower hackle a matt brown shaft stripe. Primaries wheaten coloured with matt brown inner vane. Back, wing coverts, saddle and tail coverts wheaten coloured with a light feather edge. The inner part of these feathers have more or less distinct grey brown peppering. Breast, abdomen and lower thighs light wheaten coloured with a pale feather edge and pale feather quill. Tail grey brown, the upper main tail feathers in colour matching the tail coverts. Down: greyish.
Legs: yellow.
Severe faults: very patchy ground colour, missing pale lacing.
