Tiny Serama Eggs that hatch

[canada-goose]

What price would you ask for a pair? I would love a few.... if I could afford them!

Please dont think Im being offensive, I just am super curious! I need to know!!
Are you sure you have those weights correct? WOW! THAT IS SOOO TINY!!!

I may NEED some of your birds!! lol

That is SUPER MINI MICRO and you have a flock of them? So they are 3.75 to 5.25 ounces-----Thats 106 to 148ish grams.. (sorry, I do better in grams!)




For comparison's sake....
I just weighed a bunch of fully feathered out 2 1/2 month old pure serama chicks from my line and they weigh between 175-200 grams. Thats more than your adults!!

These are pretty small little guys. I just went and got pics to compare.

I also just went and weighed some fuzzy fluffy standard (Black star crosses) chicks that were hatched almost 2 weeks ago. They are just getting feathers on their wing tips. They weighed 140 to 150 grams. So about the same size as yours ---or a little bigger.

So..here is my 2 month old Serama with a standard chick that is about the same size as your serama! Wow!

I cant get the serama near Mama black star, but you can see that he would be just a bit bigger than the standard baby chicks.
And you can see how mall they are and they weigh a little more than your serama breeders!!

SOOOOO...how much are you asking for eggs or birds or chicks!!

Here is picture of a 5-day old Serama 'mini' Chick standing next to a 2 leter bottle cap.

Another view. Note the lack of an egg tooth, its presence would indicate chick 4 days or less old.

Where did you get them? How many generations did it take to get them this small? How small were the parents of the small ones? How old are they in that picture?

Ohh I wish we could get Seramas here in NZ sigh.....

From a friend that got them from the lady that imported eggs from her homeland. In short she couldn't keep them due to finances-gave all to my friend who left them outside in Michigan winter and lost most of them. He asked me to take the rest before they died. I did. The rest is history.

I'm on the 9th generation. The tiny ones started about the 3rd generation.

The parents were a 3 year old Roo and 1-1/2 year old Hen. Both Parents are less than 5 ounces.

The chick is 5 days old.

I’ve been trying to find some pictures with 3 new hatched chicks in a teaspoon. There is another one with 2 new hatch chicks setting in the bottle cap. Problem I have over 100,000 pictures to sort through to find them. But, when I do I'll post them.

And since we are loyal followers of this thread, we will have dibs on some egg auctions?

wow im so jealous

 

[SeramaLife]

Wow. Can I see a picture of a full grown adult on a scale please? And posed next to a ruler? I am still a skeptic......
About how many of these do you have? Have you ever shown them? What year were those eggs imported? How many? If you know, what percent of cocks and hens are fertile? What is the hatch rate?

I have only 336 Seramas now. Recently gave 520 away to different 4-h clubs. Kept the birds 8 ounces and under except 6 that are close to 16 ounce size. I share the 'mini' birds with 2 life long friends that wanted a pair as house pets.

You are among several breeders that want some my birds. It won't happen! My work is my own.

You can just as easily selectively breed your birds and get them small too. Don't starve them of nutrient rich food to get small birds. This only leads to genetically weak birds that are infertile. I feed a 28% protein ration with my fortified water. Chicks get 34% protein with fortified water.

Watch your in-breeding and line-breeding to avoid fatal genes and infertility. Don’t breed short legged to short legged, it always has 100% fatal genes that cause the embryo to die at 5-6 day stage.

I could go on and on but you probably already know all this.

As far as you believing me or not makes no difference to me. I (or probably anyone else) doesn’t take kindle (even as politely as you did it) to be called a liar.

Post a picture of even a new hatched Serama of yours next to a 1 liter bottle cap and see how they compare to mine.
