Serama

[LuannKeller]

I am working with Serama and trying to connect to other Serama breeders - particularly in SC NC GA.

I am raising Serama and Silkied Serama.

I have a pair that look quite similar to the pair in your avatar. A friend of mine has a silkie pair (nice) and a nice black female and a black and red male that is too big.
There is one otheer person inour club that has a trio of small Seramas, they are all the same color. I think black and tan. I am not sure of the lineage of those.
My friend and me got ours from Frank.

Well we are al l in west central Wisconsin.

Maybe you can answer for me a question about my male Napoleon. Guess how he got his name?

He is very sexually active and very high strung, is this normal?

ETA: as of yesterday he is separated in his own cage. But even bring a female in the same room and he becomes extremely aggitated

In my experience they do mature quickly - particularly the little fellows. They do settle down after they mature a bit. He's a randy teenager so hang in there. I do often put them completely alone when they are going through that stage. They are hard on boys and girls until they are done with that stage.

Oh thanks thats a relief


I also thought of TommyVT in California and his friend, they have the Jerry S lines I think. But these are all long ways away from you.

I dont know if I would mail a bird or not, what if it got lost?

Hi Luann!
I got my Serama hens and several cockerels from Marty in Batesburg-Leesville.
I can't decide whether the breed really does anything for me. I hatched many chicks from the 2 hens with a neat-looking crele Ser' roo and got some nice tiny birds --- but I can't get beyond 'color'.
All the girls I've hatched are some form of brown/tan and I just don't care for brown/tan hens.

I took one of Marty's barred roos to a black hen and made a very cute barred hen. I bought Marty's blacks and most of the rest of what he was working on when his allergies made him get out of Serama. Since you are in SC maybe I could get you some colors that you find more interesting. If you want to come to my place and pick out some projects, I would love to give you some colors that are more interesting. I am working on lacing and I see some promising young birds in that pattern. I have some spangling too if that is interesting to you - love that sp. hamburg look! I have mottles, duns (carmel & white), some red, some brown, some wheaton, some white....surely we can find a variety you can get excited about.

Just hatched my first serama chicks this weekend!! I'm so excited. From 31 eggs so far I have 6 live hatched with a couple more pipping; I'm hoping for at least 8 chicks. I am rather surprised at how large the chicks seem to be. To be the world's smallest chicken, I had assumed I could expect very small babies, mine are a little smaller than bantam I have hatched. I became fascinated with serama because of their size; I had never heard of them. Can't wait to watch them grow!!

 

[LuannKeller]

I hope you got some from a good source. There is an ebay seller who sells Serama eggs from 2 pound serama - bigger than most bantamsm, and well above the standard weight for Serama. Ask your egg supplier how big the parents are - that will give you an indication of what size they should finish at.

Serama boys should be 1 pound and girls just a bit less when fully mature.

I have a male Serama about 8 weeks old. He is a C sized but the baby orps I just got are bigger then he is already and they are three weeks old. I got other B sized Serama's in the bator right now which are offspring to a nice B sized pair from a friend of mine. She got her trio at a show. They placed well

can't wait until the 11th! hope they all make it! My goal is to have a pair/trio of them. So far I have one! On the 11th I find out if I reach my goal
