[SulkyBantam]

Yep SO tiny.
She is the smallest type of serama and weighs just 225g!
I love her.
They are surprisingly easy to get hold of here but it is cold and wet so she and her sister Hobnob (below) sleep in a dog cage in my room.
They are lovely pets!

Was she expensive? Did you get a fertilised egg? Or do you breed your own?

 

[SulkyBantam]

I bought her recently as a mature hen.
They are show quality purebred (Sally Henny Penny has been taken to shows, don't know if she won anything) and cost 25 euros each.
We got two hen because we already have two cockerels (not serama, polish bantam). Are you looking for seramas yourself?

Not looking for any right now. Just wondering on the price, as later in my life I'd like some chickens and I think bantams would be ideal, however, I know that often they cost a pretty penny. So I was wondering the price of yours!
What is laying like for them?

 

[SulkyBantam]

The competition closes on le 14th. Originally they wouldn't have been judged, however... seeing as not many people have ex-batts it is now more just about cute snuggly hens!
