He is a handsome little fellow

My rooster went out with my LF hens and he was strutting around the yard like he owned the place.

This lil guy I just adore, I got him last fall when he was about 2 months old or so, He is now 6 months old and weighs 14 oz so far. His name is Godzilla. Pardon the messy cage, I was getting ready to clean it out but just couldn't resist snapping a pic of him standing so proud. He has been this way since I got him, always strutting with the tail up.

This is lil man, was gonna be a new breeding roo but he got too big on me. I still like his colors and type so I may try using him with a small hen in the spring and see what I get.

If June bred this bird you can bet it's a pure Serama. She has some very good silkied and I hope to get some from her some day. You can also breed the white earlobes out as well as the dark legs.

Yes, this little pullet is my breeding. She is from an outstanding pair that I bought from Dianne Brewer. I am working on both ear lobe and shank color. Ear lobes in my roosters are getting pretty good. Hens have been a bit more difficult. Shank color is more difficult than ear lobes, but I'm working on both. You should consider other good qualities first and deal with ear lobes and shanks (and everything else) as work in progress. Dianne says there is NO SILKIE in the background. Several smooth feather serama also have white on the ear lobes. It is not just a silkie thing. White ear lobes are considered desirable in Malaysia. It is just something we have to work on in the American Serama.

Thanks for the input June, this little pullet is a sweetheart. I am puttin her with a real nice roo we got from june, I only have a breeding pair but they are fun nonetheless.

Here earlobes actually look blue. In Old English, blue or 'turquoise' earlobes is a fault, not a DQ.

They are more blue than white.....

Ok, I have a really silly (and probably stupid) question, but I'm new to the breed and still learning about them. I see all the roosters (and hens) in this V stance in the photos. Do they naturally stand like this or is it something you have to train them to do? I know, silly and stupid question, but I'm just curious. Does it have something to do with the quality of the bird or is it just a natural part of this breed? The 3 hens I hatched last year don't really stand like this though their tails are very upright. This will be my first year having a rooster (I better get one from all these eggs I'm hatching! lol) so I'm wondering.

You should visit the SCNA (serama council of north america) http://www.scnaonline.org/ There is great info on there that explains everything. These upright birds are amazing really! Good luck in your Serama endeavors!
