SunnyCalifornia, its kind of hard to judge him from that angle......I can see he has nice high chest, good length on the legs and great stance. The only bad thing right now is the back, its a bit long but with full hackles should cover it up. I think he should clear the 60 mark easily, you need to handle him more cuz the other 25% of your score is on character. He can only get better!!!!

Thanks Joey, I'm going to bring him this weekend, so you can see him in person then too.

FYI, My Whitii looks the same way as your roos when he was at that age....sorry, I don't have pic of him at that age. I gave him to a good friend of my at 2 months old and was returned to me cuz his wife nagging on him for spending too much time with the bird.

Anyone interested in about 24 Serama hatching eggs. Some of them are a little too old, but not sure which ones they are. Would take $20 plus $10 shipping if anyone is interested. I have chicks coming out my ears, and don't want to load the incubator again!

2 are from black pair and are fresh for sure. No frizzles in this group.

I can only hope that 'Gordon' looks as good as your Whitii when he gets older!! I have him inside with me tonight, to play with him, tickle him, and practice posing him. This is the first time I've had him and my little house chicken (SDW pullet 'Hedwig') loose at the same time! She has never had a "chicken" friend, she's been our buddy since she was only a few weeks old. She acts more like a parrot than a chicken. The only interaction she's had with him was a brief moment in the run with Gordon and his favorite black speckled hen. It didn't go well that time, but with the black hen out of the way, she is tolerating his presence pretty well, though she won't let him get too close. LOL. Guess she's not into boys yet.

hearing how fragile the seramas are, im hoping my experiances with quail, will help me.. are they as small and delicate as quail and their eggs (though my quail seem to have really tough eggs) usually?

Question I've long wanted answered. What does it mean when you say "my seramas are mostly, A's and B's and C's etc?"

Although the American Serama Standard calls for specific weights (mentioned above), and birds are judged on tabletop by those standards, many folks like to further identify their birds using the micro, A, B, C, and D categories. The weights for these categories are as follows:

COCKS HENS
Micro - under 9 ounces Micro - under 8 ounces
A - 9.1 to 13 ounces A - 8.1 to 12 ounces
B - 13.1 to 16 ounces B - 12.1 to 15 ounces
C - 16.1 to 19 ounces C - 15.1 to 17 ounces
D - over 19.1 ounces D - over 17.1 ounces

Micros are almost always guaranteed not to reproduce and A's typically are not much better. The best breed stock is said to come from birds that fall into the B and C categories, as B and C birds can produce the smaller types as well. Hope this helps.
