Serama eggs

[JacinLarkwell]

Looking to buy foams for serama eggs. Are they closer to button quail or standard quail size? I know they're smaller than regular bantam eggs

Serama bantams lay a large egg for their size which causes problems in raising them. I monitor my hens closely as there's always a possibility of egg binding. Thankfully I have only lost one hen to binding in the six/seven years I've been raising them. Unlike other breeds that can brood 12 to 15 eggs easily, small serama are only able 4-7 of their own eggs.

I agree with the above post. My Phoenix bantam eggs are the same size as the serama and Phoenix are quite a bit larger in size.

@WVduckchick also ships seramas. She has a variety of pet quality and a few show quality sersmas I believe.

My serama average 11 ounces (micro and class A); their eggs are about 1/3 to 1/2 again as big as cortunix quail eggs. I have used my serama to hatch cortunix successfully. Button eggs are way smaller.

Does someone need Seramas? lol I have the three cutest pairs...

Do you ship?


Also thanks for the replies. I never would have thought those tint birds laid eggs that big. Good think I didn't order the shippers yet

Do you ship?

I have in the past (fifteen years ago) but not since I've gotten back in to poultry. I plan on getting all the stuff and being set up for shipping eggs/chicks by the fall. They didn't have the foam shippers back then. I bubble-wrapped each egg individually and had a very elaborate/protected boxing procedure I followed with hatching eggs.

Lemme know when you start. We have literally 2 roosters and no hens within a few hours of us and I could only find like 3 breeders that ship eggs, let alone chicks

@TJChickens ships Seramas also.
