It's not even just a serama. They call anything bantam related a kikiriki. So yes seramas can be included in that. The only difference is that theirs are bred in puerto rico or Cuba, so they have slightly different features depending on how a specific breeder bred them. It's not really a...

Yes I have. I crossed Sweaters, hatches, and kelso with some Puerto Rican gamefowl over the years. Only reason I did it was to get more size out of the Puerto Rican line. Puerto Rican gamefowl are more fino and tend to have more endurance than the American breeds, but the American breeds are...

Thanks for the information! This is very interesting. I thought I was doing something wrong or that micro seramas were a specific breed at first. So it turns out the micro can just be an occasional runt of the flock in a sense I guess. The way I've been breeding is just keeping the smallest ones...

I'll add my two cents in here even though it's been a while. Pheasant and Chicken crosses are not as rare as you think. It's a bit of a secret actually in the gamefowl world (gamefowl meaning chickens). I've had several people come buy some of my gamefowl chickens to cross with pheasants...

You say "don't meet the standard," are you saying there is a documented standard for kikirikis? Whenever I've heard the term, it was just used loosely to describe any general bantam in Spanish. Any size, any feather pattern, any attitude, as long as they were bantam size or smaller, they'd be...

Hello, I have been reading up on serama bantams lately and I realized there are different classes of seramas based on weight. The smallest of which being the Micro class, where males are under 13oz and females under 8 oz in weight. I just find this hard to believe. I breed and sell some serama...

And quails are very different from seramas. I haven't had too many quails in my time, but I've seen hundreds of those being sold at auctions for like $1 full grown. I don't think it's even worth breeding in my opinion. Unless there are quail breeds that are a little more expensive, I do not...

Depends on which seramas. If it's the common $15 serama you find on Craigslist then no that's not hard to breed at all. But the hard ones to breed are the small ones classed as Micro seramas. Those don't lay eggs very often and when they do the mortality rate is higher than other breeds. There's...

If you don't know anything about gamefowl, definitely don't breed gamefowl because you won't be able to sell to the people who know about the breeds and ask you questions. I would go with something people would buy as pets, right now serama bantams are being bought at pretty high prices if you...

If he's pure, I'd say Roundhead. The leg color and face color doesn't seem like warhorse

All hens 1000%. Idk what some of the other people were saying. A couple of them look like American gamefowl or gamefowl mixes. The first one is probably a kelso or kelso mix. The third one is probably a grey mix. I know there's a gamefowl breed that looks like that dark one but I don't know it...

I cannot see her completely in this picture, but she is definitely an American Gamefowl breed. To narrow your search, she is one of these: Roundhead, Sweater, Hatch, or Kelso. You say she's really fat, and judging by her color and whiter colored legs, I'd say she's a pure Roundhead or roundhead...

Definitely a green leg hatch. Looks like you have a Green Leg Hatch hen. It's an American Gamefowl breed. These are chickens of course, and can be treated just like any normal chicken. Some chickens may be more dominant or aggressive than others, not just gamefowl breeds, so it just depends on...

For the future and for anyone who would like some info: Anyone who is buying barred rock or any other non-game breed of chicken is not going to fight them! No offense, but if you think someone is going to throw that fluffy fat tub of lard in a fight against some of those roided up pure game...

Thank you everyone for your help. I live in Florida and with the hurricane in the area, I decided to save the healthier ones and let go the sickest ones, since not all could fit in my shed. After the storm, half of the sick ones died, I don't see them getting any better, I have not been wasting...

Well, thank you for the bad news. No seriously thank you. Now I know that my chickens have mareks, the disease I've been denying for a while. It doesn't sound like you have had much success with this mareks disease. Therefore I'll just cull the whole flock. I spent years breeding, and just...

Thank you everyone for your responses. If I sound unappreciative , I apologize because I honestly appreciate all the information I could get. Its just that when you finally get your flock to be perfect and something like this happens it gets stressful and hopeless. I have fought hawks by...

I'll tell you guys why I believe it's not mareks, so that you guys can help me find out what it really is: 1. The paralysis for mareks is different then what I am experiencing. In mareks, chickens do a 'split' in most cases, while in my case it is only one leg that goes bad. In mareks there is...

Im telling you it's not mareks. If it were mareks they would have all died within the first couple months. This has to be some new diseases or a combination of diseases. Im not an expert but I've seen my chickens symptoms and it's not anything 'simple like everyone is saying. It's not simply...

Update on my chickens: 2 of the 3 that were in the worst shape died already. The third one is hanging on but still skinny and pale. Others that were mildly affected are now worse. I'm talking about pullets and stags. Now even some of the full grown chickens are becoming pale. Ive tried wazine...
