The 2012 Serama half-blood project

Hi dear ayam serama breeders in and outside europ.
The year 2012 is almost coming to an end.
From the past breeding season I gladly share some pictures with you of the half-blood project. Half-blood stands for European hens mated to Malaysian Serama roosters. This project is a set up to avoid inbreed by creating sidelines. These sideline might be used in time onto our pure Malaysian bred project. We try everything to prevent us from breeding into a dead end.
It took me some time to select european hens who does not pass on much of their type. But mostly passing on the roosters genes. I selected some small and elegant type birds with longer legs. Some of these hens are kinda upright by nature. Then it was a search for the right match. Which hen + which rooster gives the best results(offspring) All of a sudden we had a few amazing hits! These are a few examples of the results.

Following comes from my split silky but smooth feathered hen (Kelly) european "serama".

and "Jack the Ripper" Ayam Serama.

A portfolio from one son of Kelly and JTR.

From another combination Chantilla (who looks more related to Ayam Kapan then serama)and Durando we got very surprising offspring.

................................Do you feel the urge for breeding the real breed.
Join the Belgian seramaclub.
The Belgian seramaclub is a group of people who are breeding with accurate breed, Malaysian Serama!

Malaysian Serama, the one and only!

I proudly present our Malaysian serama rooster. He got named Jack the Ripper (JTR) called after his beavior.

He is not romantic of a kind at all. When he see or hear a girl in his surroundings he is persistent to get her. It's so easy to breed this bird as i can mate him with a bigger number of girls.Just have to mate them one by one. They get instanly .....you know what i mean ;-) Here a few of his offspring who takes after their fathers image.

First, a 6 week old cockerel

Second, a 9 week old pullet

Thanks for watching John :)

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.

Serama in Belgium

Here is one of our young chicks we followed over the past months. He is called "Little Dato".

This guy is very vey macho for a cockerel.

We are even more delighted to know that this little Rooster is fertile too. And is become a daddy already.

We cross are fingers that many chicks may follow in the future.

Happy Easter everyone

This is a time of eggs and chickens. And ofcourse Chocolade! For that reason i could not resist posting this picture.

At the same time i'll make an update for the young rooster in prevvious picture post. This chick has a great head pull and even at it's young age he has become a real casanova :)

Enjoy your holidays.
