I am considering getting a breeding pair of Seramas but wondered if there would be a market for their offspring, any ideas anyone?

Should imagine there is Madchickenlady -you are considering them after all. Purely decorative of course as any eggs will be tiny. You should have a minimum of three hens and a cockerel, otherwise one hen will get rather trodden. I know people have trios, but you can easily lose a hen. The more hens the better if you plan to breed them but I think they will need to be to a recognised high standard.

They are a bit soft so won't take the cold well, Have seen a few at sales low to a average prices, I would not think you will make much money from them. As has been said buy the best you can also seek advice from the top show breeders they will be the experts. Best of luck with your venture.

To be absolutely honest - business venture it aint, I have just seen them and fancy them, its a whim really but they do come as a breeding pair, hence the enquiry! :innocent:
