With this boundary of size in mind, the breeding of Serama requires knowledgeable decisions and choices if you want fertile parents and healthy chicks and thus a flourishing population.
Bad habits like eating eggs and feather plucking have a genetic base and birds who have these habits should be culled. Also sickly birds, so Serama that are ill regularly should be taken out of the flock. A Serama is a hardy and vigorous bird and when weaknesses or bad habits are seen, one should not breed with these birds. Severe selection criteria is very important for this young breed as the foundation base is very small. Bad traits which are not weeded out can spoil complete breeding lines.
In order to put the Serama into the full spotlight in a few years, we must aim for the highest quality possible. Serama should not only be ‘nice’ or ‘beautiful’ chickens but also have all the traits of a valuable breeding bird - that which you can’t see at first sight is of no less importance. We want the Serama to have the best selection of good qualities and traits, vitality and liveliness. And aiming for that is more demanding than producing pure bred chickens that only have to be ‘beautiful’, and nothing else .
