American serama thread!

[Faraday40]

Here are some of my 2023 babies:

These 2 are like an old married couple. I only hatched 2 males this year and am keeping the other one. I hope someone wishes to buy them together. Female is pure white.

Here's my grayish girl

This girl has pastel tones of tan, gray, and white.

and this lighter gal has a nice posture. (likes to show off)

* There are 4 more seramas who are not pictured (two are silkied). I'll try to show them off later.

Almost forgot about "Miss Take"
We didn't mean to hatch this chick. A sneaky broody got the egg past me and when I found it I saw a tiny bit of development. Oh well.

This mistake egg was incubated by a hen but moved to an incubator for hatch. (We needed her to stay broody and care for some quail due a few days later.) She stayed in the house and was pampered until the quail hatched. She was raised with the quail for about 6 weeks and then added to a hatch of large fowl chicks with a different broody. Not sure if she identifies herself as a human, quail, or large fowl. Mistake turned into "Miss Take" when we knew she was female. For fun, we entered her in the county fair. She along with several of our other chickens were chosen as class champions and competed against each other. Miss Take ended up getting grand champion bantam- even beating our 3 time grand champ silkie hen, that won reserve this year.

She's darling- especially how she's looking at you and the ribbon, "yeah- we did that!"

Had some fun with the pet costumes today. My little pullet doesn’t look very impressed.

does anyone know if Ayam Seramas (extreme seramas) are in the USA? I don’t have any seramas my but sometime in the future i would love to get the Ayams

Yes! Several people on Facebook have pages for them. My friend here in Oklahoma raises some.

Let's play guess that gender!!!
Seramas - 3 weeks old
Let me know if you agree with my predictions.
* Please excuse the messy appearance. They were fed some moistened crumbles and decided to roll in it.

The only dark one is, of course, going to be male. Just my luck

The white one with a bit of buff looks female.

This interesting one was white at hatch but feathers are growing in dark gray. Looks like a male to me.

This one is off-white. Looks very similar to the other one so I keep forgetting about her. This "middle child" looks female.

Female. Here's the baby/runt. I wasn't sure if it would make it because of her smaller size and tired looking eyes. But, she's just slower to mature and keeps up with her siblings and mamas. (2 hens are sharing these babies)

I totally agree with all your predictions! Those little combs look male to me. And the others, their little faces look female. They are SO CUTE! Seramas are the sweetest little chickens.
