Need suggestion on how to improve my serama flock

I agree and I like the white hen the best. The hen that you got from Jerry looks like she is very short legged and that means she may carry the creeper gene.
Just keep breeding with what you have so not to get overwhelmed.

Keep LOTS of records--ages and weights of birds are what I would get written down now. I like to ad pics to my records. You can get wallet sized ones printed.

Separate your hens if you can and move your roo into each breeding pen every other day. Keep the eggs marked from which hen since you only have one rooster.

Hatch eggs, raise a few babies from each (preferably) until 5-6 months old and you can see what they are producing. You might do this twice if you cant keep 5-10 chicks from each at a time from each hen.

Then you will know who is a keeper and who is not! Keep the best and re-breed them to your roo, or to your best producing hen.
Sometimes the best looking birds are not the best producing.
 
New addition to my small flock, I got him as gift form my co-worker. He can't keep him cuz he moves to a gated comunity town house.

This 9 months old roos is not perfect to the standard SQ serama but I do see some good qualities in him that I can use to improve my flock. Here are a few pics of him.

I still like your hen with the black head the best. Your new roo is WOW!! I aggree with Jessi; breed your best to your best first. That will give you a good head start.
