Aren't seramas supposed to be incredibly small when fully mature? (I hesitate to say "fully grown" since that seems like an oxymoron when the adult bird is only about 6 inches tall)

they started that way when imported. However were crossed with Old English bantams, silkies, and many other things to increase the number of birds. The "American" Serama proposed standard no longer calls out such a small weight. based on the American standard the malaysian serama would be a defect and disqualified from show due to size and weight.
This is what having something that started out in very limited numbers and comanding a great market price will do. You just cant get from 100 birds to 5000 birds in a year without doing something different.

This is similar to how I used to pick horses at the races - cool name or lovely color combination. Maybe that is why I never won

Good night all. It is time to go dream of blue chickens. Although, after seeing the purple car that Greybear bought, I may try to figure out how to get purple feathered chickens

There are hair bands that are very small for little girls that I used in different colors on my Gams babies, you can get them a WalMart I think. Just keep an eye on them and change them out when theyare starting to get tight and then go to the numbered spiral bands Al was talking about and they go up to large fowl sizes. Lynn
