non-viable weights, such as may be occurring within the Micro-A's. In turn, breeding larger Serama outside of the C class is not promoted and is strongly discouraged. As stated before, the Serama in America is in its infancy and all genetic potential must be considered in order to build the birds which best fit the standard. The current classes as defined by that standard make the best use of that genetic potential at this time. SCNA will ultimately lower their size classes to one class in order to prepare for eventual acceptance into the APA and ABA, but presently feels that it is more important to perfect the American type Serama first.

We hope that this clears the confusion which occurs when someone refers to one of these tiny birds as a Malaysian Serama or an American Serama. For more information on the American type Serama and its progress in America, please visit SCNA at www.scnaonline.org. A forum and further information are available so that you may ask any questions regarding this fantastic breed.
