american serama chickens for sale
Seramas are true bantams (meaning they have no larger counterpart), and are the smallest of all chicken breeds. They originated in Malaysia, where they were named after King Rama. Seramas are noted for their multi-color plumage — they can be any color normally found in chickens — and for their docile, friendly temperament. Distinctive features include a single comb, droopy wing feathers, and a full tail that sometimes reaches so far over the back that it touches the head.
Seramas were originally developed as household cage birds, therefore they require a warm environment and they do well in confinement. They may be housed with other small bantam breeds, but should not be kept with larger breeds that may bully them. In a controlled environment, a Serama hen may lay her tiny eggs at any time of year. The eggs hatch in as little as 19 days (compared to 21 days for most chicken eggs). Serama hens will brood and make excellent mothers.
