Life with two cocks.

I have three Serama chickens in my house. Two of them are cockerels. I intended to come home with just one pair, a male and female. Then I saw this poor little ragamuffin bird, and he fell asleep in my arms and the breeder is an enabler and said I could just have him. So I came home with two cocks and a hen. They're actually really good about not crowing until I turn on the lamps. Then they crow for a bit as I get ready for work, and when I come home, they greet me, but then they're silent. It's nothing near a full-size rooster. The roo in the first pic is full grown. Their body size is about 7", and their tail is about another 10". Super tiny birds.
They're such funny little birds. I also have an incubator half full of mixed banty eggs and Serama eggs, and some black cochin bantam eggs coming. Oy. The birds will be sold when they hatch, because I don't have room for them. I just like the hatching part.
And now for some uber crappy pictures of the birds, with cameo appearances by the lovely Mandae.

The Mandae with T'Oliver sitting on her shoulder.

"Pose! Pose, darn you!" Which did no good, he was too relaxed.

Jailed!

The pair - Peaches and Tennyson

A good shot of Tennyson - Peaches ducked

This is the Serama Stance.

More Serama Strut

I'm.. too sexy for this cage. Too sexy for this cage.
