Seramas!! I’m a little confused!

[BrittChick15]

Hello!
I’ve recently been wanting a Serama rooster, and found a lady who is giving away two of hers. They are still under heat.
My question is, she stated that the one was an “extreme Malaysian Serama / Standard Serama” mix. And the other is just a Standard American Serama. What does that mean? And will they been different sizes when fully mature? I just want them as pets. Thanks!

Serama can be found in a number of types and sizes. Your best bet is to "see" the cockerels and their parents. To get an idea of what to expest I'd suggest looking at online IMAGES. Serama sizes can be as little as 5-6 ounces on up to well over a pound.

They make wonderful pets. Below are pictures of my morning coffee buddy-yes, he lives in the house.

awe!!! What a cutie!!!! I’ll post pictures of the ones she said are available. I don’t know I love them both! I’m also getting a Pullet from her now too!

These little guys should not need supplemental heat. They should do fine at regular room temperatures as they look about three months old.
Ask to handle them then pick the one that appeals to you the most. Serama mature early; 4-6 months. I often have serama pullets leading chicks around before they turn 6 months old and are grandmothers before they're a year old. They are delightful as pets.

These two hatched and raised babies in the kitchen-winter 2018-19.

Their coop was a large plastic tub. The roo's crow was no louder than a normal speaking voice.

Y'all are seriously not helping my "I don't need Seramas" resolve over here.

Perhaps this will help keep your resolve.

I’m doing research on serama chickens because I want to keep a pair as pets in my home. I love your photos and would like to ask you if you can point me to any online information on home set up or any other help as I prepare to have these guys arrive.
If I get a boy and girl will the boy overbreed with her? Thanks for your help.

I have been raising serama for almost a decade and not once has overbreeding been an issue; even when kept as pairs in a breeding situation.

I have a pair of serama here in the house.
I have had numerous species of cage birds in my home and the serama are the least messy of birds; little dust and little noise.

For a cage I use a huge plastic bin with a top that allows for air circulation. I also have a hundred gallon aquarium that I use at times. Both, the aquarium and tub work well, in that they both contain the little dust and loose feathers/feed from making a mess in the house.

I am your best source of information on this issue as I have had serama as house pets for years. This is a pair that nested and hatched chicks in our kitchen while being housed in the plastic tub last year.
