Thanks!! She is a Serama its good to hear that perhaps her adults feathers will be better I will update when she is older she's so sweet I really hope her adult feathers come in nice!
Thank you, what could cause this? I have pulled her as she was getting picked on a bit but I do not want to breed any that have a low quality the parents have nice feathers did she just not win the genetics lottery? She has a very sweet temperament and will make a nice pet
Hello all,
I have started my Serama breeding program and had my first egg hatch a week before Christmas, one of my hens hatched 2 sweet babies. I have one Pullet and One Cockerel. Both the parents are smooth feathered however this little Pullet looks like maybe she's a frizzle? I dont have any...
Oh my goodness thank you for posting! I am new to Sarema's and want to start a breeding project to try and breed for show so standard would be important. I am having trouble finding good info could you please help with any good books or articles you found helpful thanks!!!

Hi Friends! I have attached some photos from my old girl she's my oldest hen at 5 yrs I check out my hens each day just a quick once over and have been looking at Nuggets feet doe this look like scaly leg mites to anyone? If it is I believe its early but early treatment is best! She is not going...
I picked up some chicks in March that I was told were SLS turns out they were black copper Marans luckily this is a breed I was also looking for so It worked out! I agree with everyone here probably cuckoo Marans on your little one. Seems like a theme this year for SLS to be labeled on the...
Thank you! I was under the impression that most bantams were the size of silkies so that's good to know! These little OEB are really great little birds they free range with the big chickens and you would think they were giants lol they have no fear! My chickens don't seem to have any concern...
