Six Feathers Seramas Seramas, also commonly known as the Ayam Serama or Malaysian Serama, were developed in the state of Kelantan, Malaysia. They are the result of crossing some local bantams there, including what is believed to be Japanese (Chabo). Seramas are commonly called the smallest chicken in the world, which is indeed true. Class A Seramas are very small and light weight, and as such are regarded as the lightest chickens in the world. Seramas are relatively new to the USA, having been imported in the year 2000. They were imported by two separate individuals. I have both lines of birds that were imported. Serama Bantams are currently being bred to a Standard of Perfection, based on the Standard that was developed in Malaysia. For more information, check out the Serama Standard. There have already been several Serama Shows here in the USA with more to hopefully follow. For more information check out the National Serama Club and Registry If you are interested in keeping Malaysian Seramas you will need to ask yourself if you can meet a few basic requirements. Can you keep them warm and protected from the elements? It is a common misconception that Seramas need to be kept at temperatures above 40 degrees. This is not entirely true. yes, Seramas are small, but if properly acclimated, they do quite well in colder climates as long as they have shelter from the wind and rain and snow. Can you keep them safe from predators? Seramas need to have comfortable housing safe from predators. They enjoy time outside, and truly benefit from living the way chickens were meant to live. Are you prepared to take on a relatively new breed and the challenges that come with it? Seramas are a new breed and the breed clubs here in the USA are also new. We need quality breeders who are looking to improve the type, temperament, size and vitality of this wonderful little breed. Good ethics and hard work are a must if you want to be sucessful with Seramas. If you have answered yes to all these questions, then you are more than ready to start off with some Seramas. Check out my prices page for more information on how to order. And make sure you check out the National Serama Club and Registry for answers to all your Serama needs. It's a great club doing a great work of helping to promote and improve the Malaysian Serama here in the United States.
