Awww, you're just making me want Seramas more and more. (The trouble with chickens is that there are so many beautiful kinds to choose from...I want to collect them all.)...
PICS of my week old Serama chicks

Thank you
alot of the babies 12 total were yellow as chicks, the dark roo was all yellow when he was a chick which really blew me away. The boys seem to be pretty mature at 3 months, they are trying to mate with my breeding hens already. The pullets i got started laying at 4 months old, broody by 5 months old
I am positive you will get some awesome colors. The pullet in the 5th pic looked exactly like your yellow chicks and she is turning out beautiful. Good luck with your babies, they are a really fun awesome breed!
Thank you

Chickenaddict, what was your ratio of roos to pullets? How is their disposition? Are they friendly?
Adorable! It will be fun for you to see what colors they grow into!!!

Con, I got a kick out of your saying the first one looks like a born leader. But I got to looking, and he DOES sort of have that "Napoleon look" doesn't he.

Judy-your babie3 are adorable! These little guys DO grow fast don't they?
I really appreciate Chickenaddict sharing her photos. Beautiful birds! Her babies are a little ways further along than mine, who are month old, but I can already see the beginning of the wattles and reddish/pink color to the combs.
I am assuming they are my roos. The two I believe are hens don't have any wattles yet nor much of a comb.
The two littlest babies are not old enough to tell much of anything. I am hoping they are hens to even things out!
We have a dozen Serama eggs in the incubator right now. Keep your fingers crossed for us!
We are trying a higher humidity, and slightly higher temp.
It is nice to see pictures of the serama's at different ages.

I started out with a quad consisting of 2 hens and 2 roos. The hens seem to like picking the roosters neck feathers out so i recently seperated them until the other babies are grown enough to add with them (2 more pullets) What i found surprising was how well the 2 roosters get along with very few hens around. Going into this i was fully prepared to seperate them into pairs but i didn't need to. Once everyone gets older and i hatch a few more im hoping to gain 3 breeding flocks with 3 hens and one roo per group. Right now im overrun with cockrels, out of 12 eggs 7 were cockrels. MIne are very tame and love to be handled. They have an excellent disposition, little spazzy when they are young but they get used to the human touch. The more you handle them and work with them the more tame and loving they will end up to be
