Will Seramas mate full size hens?

[Sauerkraut]

So, I would like to get a breeding pair of seramas for 4h for my child. I was wondering if it would be likely that the male serama would be able to mate my current full size pullets, as I don’t want any fertilized eggs. The pullets are andalusians, one huge bsl, and one polish.

He may try, but due to the significant size difference , it is unlikely that he can make contact. Fertilized eggs will not develop unless they are incubated.

Thanks! That’s what I suspected, but I wanted to confirm.

You might be surprised but there's a big learning curve and he may never try, or he may give up. But I have read of small bantams being able to mate larger hens.
