Malaysian serama chicks in Belgium

This is how it should be done.Breed and select for long thighs and legs. Just like the True breed Serama chick in the picture. In the pic is a fresh born Serama chick bred from Malaysian type birds. I would suggest that all european serama breeders should breed and select for this feature. Also breed for slim and upright bodies.
In this picture one can see how slim the bodystructure of this birds really is. The body is placed on top of the legs, not hanging between te legs like it appears compairing to birds in the US and EU.
Below a compairance between a Serama and a so called serama like birds are in the US and EU. Left bird in the picture was photographed by myself in Malaysia. Bird on the left was photographed by myself in the USA. Malaysia April 2012 and 3 weeks later i was in the USA. I mention this for not confusing people who might think that there are ages of breeding differece in between these 2 pictures.
Thanks to my Malaysian and US friends who are so helpfull doing all this research. Thank you, Terima Kasih.

    Hi

    I have just come across your blog and find it fascinating. I live in the UK where it seems virtually impossible to get then good quality Malaysian style birds. If there are some no one is willing to let any chicks go. I will follow your blog with interest and hopefully, one day, I will be able to source some birds.

    I hope to breed birds and hope to provide those who want to breed towards malaysian style. It will take a few years of breeding before i will be selling birds. Thanks for your comment.

    You are very welcome. I will follow your endeavours with great interest and wish you the best of luck in what you are doing. I totally agree with your comments on the accepted 'European and American' standards. Seems amazing to me that we can breed completely different bird and still call it a 'Malaysian Serama'. Good luck and I'm sure all your hard work will soon pay off.
