~MALAYSIAN SERAMA THREAD~ (PICS!!!)

[rarebreedeggs4u]

Here are the 8 babies (of 9 eggs set) we hatched last week

That is a Black Copper Marans chick with them

They are a day older than the BCM chick. We feed a Game Bird Starter unmedicated crumble (28%).

Does anyone no how to sex serama??? I have a one month chick and I have noooooooooo clue!!
Since it is my first and only serama chick I have no others to even compair it to so that is no help.
I have some in the bator and hopefully this time get more than 1 to hatch and as they grow together
maybe it will be easier to tell but as of now I am lost!! LOL!!!

One month is a bit early. Some cockerels are early bloomers and you can identify them after a couple of weeks, but usually it takes 5 or 6 weeks to start guessing and another 2 or 3 weeks to be sure. Do you have a picture?

I hear ya, hard to tell! I'm thinking this may be a pair, but I'm not putting money on it. The lighter one is a week older. The dark one has a hatchmate that is a pullet for sure, compared to these two. Not too worried if the light one is a roo, because I believe I see chocolate coloring developing!

Forgot to add, they're 8 weeks old!

Oooohhhhh chocolate!!!! I love that color!!!

 

[smoothmule]

True Chocolate? How do you know if they're chocolate? How does the chocolate's color develop? What color are the parents? I've been trying so hard to find chocolate Serama's to see what they look like, I sort of, kind of understand the genetics of the color but I've seen some that didn't look chocolate at all or what I would expect it to look like. Do you have some chick down pics?

SMoothmule , there is ALOT of chocolate in seramas, its jsut that they are mixed with multiple patterns with chocolate. I had a tough time finding it at first but recently Ive come across ALOT of it, its out there

Ive actually came across about 4 rooster with the same pattern and have chocolate mixed in, its a really neet pattern! Msbear has a solid colored chocoalte hen, she is beautiful! Did you see that one?

I have 28 eggs in bator(started with 33) that are DOIN great , im sure it will be a rainbow, but there are some chcolate parents of the eggs i haveinthe mix. im excited to see them all
