~MALAYSIAN SERAMA THREAD~ (PICS!!!)

[Memphisjourney2seramas]

what a nice suprise!!

I'll have to take a pic tomorrow if I can catch the little booger, it really has some odd coloring going on! It had a wheaten look as a day-old, so maybe it's just the way wheaten looks on a silkie?

But it looks like it has a white (yellow) body with black wings right now

Maybe it's some rare color silkie that will be worth millions. Hang on to it just in case. Paint silkies sell for quite bit - make up a name or your color

I'm not sure if anybody in the US has that look down yet. You might want to ask on the SCNA website- Serama Council of North America.


Shelly- what a wonderful surprise!! I can't wait to see pics!

This is a silkied Serama, not a silkie Silkie

Hard telling what color it will be, but I think wheaten would be the closest.

Got a question? Got some eggs that hatched and two of them have feathers on their legs. and the parents have smooth legs. would this be a DQ in show? Or do i need to cull?

I have a silkied Serama chick from shipped eggs too. I know the breeder has silkied and straight feathered, so not really an issue, but I don't like the look of it at all. I am kinda allergic to Silkies, they seem all wrong to me. Whereas feathered legs and feet are fine, I have a load of Brahmas. Pretty sure it's a girl: will it pass on the silkie feathering if bred next year?

 

[muddyhorse]

the feather legged ones are "booted". there are a couple of breeders working on them right now.

it takes two copies of the silkie gene to make a silkied serama, so as long as you breed to a bird with only regular feathers in its background you should be just fine

I love my silkied its like petting a kitty

How old are your chicks now, I had the same thing happen to me, i really inspected them hard and found a few feathers looked booted to me as chicks, then as they grew the feathers left. time will tell!! There are people looking for booted serama by the way dont cull, help their breeding program out if they are of good quality!!

Best of luck

Juvenile silkied feathering can look pretty rattie, even on quality birds. Given the time to molt and mature into adults (on quality birds) they can also become quite elegant....ugly ducklings can become swans. As with anything, you have to breed toward quality...feather quality (10 points) as well as type (30 points). Good quality silkied feathering looks like fur with the wings and tail still firm enough to hold structure.
