SERAMA CHICKEN - MINIATURE CHICKEN

The Serama (Malay Ayam Serama), also called the Malaysian Serama is a bantam
breed of chicken originated from Malaysia.

History

Serema originate in the Malaysian state of Kelantan, apparently through the
crossing of Japanese and Malaysian bantams.[1] Other stories of the birds
derived from a gift of some small chickens by the King of Thailand to a local
sultan in ancient times. Small chickens have always been popular pets in this
area and are often referred to as "ayam katik" (pygmy chickens) and "ayam
cantik" (pretty chickens).

The modern breed is attributed to the efforts of Wee Yean Een from Kelantan, who
named the breed "Serama" after Rama, the title of the Kings of Thailand.[1] The
breed was first exhibited in 1990. The breed was hit hard by the Asian bird flu
epidemic in 2004 when many birds were culled amid government concerns.

There are no written standards for the breed in its native country. However,
they do now have an overall guide on scoring and judging for competitions in
Malaysia. Many breeders have a style or type that they breed to, but often
breeders keep several "styles". These styles are often names given by breeders
to describe a blood line of a champion (e.g. Husin, Mat Awang), but may also be
more general shape, characteristics or behaviour (e.g. slim, submarine, and
dragon). Hence there is quite a lot of diversity in Malaysia, but an over all
theme of a small brave chicken with a persona of fearless warrior or toy
soldier. The shape, behaviour, temperament and size of the bird are the most
important characteristics. They compete against each other in open table top
competitions (often described as "beauty contests") and scored by several
judges. The prize for the winning birds can be quite a bit of money.

General characteristics

The Serama are characterized by their upright posture, full breast, vertical
tail feathers held upright and tight up to the body and vertical wings held down
nearly touching the ground. In Malaysia they are described as brave warriors and
archangel chickens, because of their very human like appearance.

They are the smallest breed of chicken in the world. Typically under 500g, but
with even smaller birds that are under 250g being bred in its native Malaysia.
However, size alone does not define a Serama. A small chicken without the Serama
"type" is not a Serama, but just another small bantam.

The following describes the overall characteristics of "Malaysian type." The
Americans and Europeans have defined variants thereof.

Carriage & Temperament
Assertive with confident bold stance yet calm and manageable. Should be easily
handled and show no aggression. The bird should pose readily and when viewed
from the side should create a vase like or wide ‘V’ shape outline. They shake
their wings and pose, walk with pride, pull their head back to reveal a large
chest, lift the legs, and in some styles have neck/head vibrations similar to
that of a pigeon.

Body
The body is well muscled with breast carried high, full and well forward. From
above the shape is somewhat elliptical, tapering towards the tail. The body
should be short.

Wings
Fairly large wings in proportion to the body they should be held in a vertical
position just clearing the ground and leaving the feet partially visible.
Shoulders should be set high on the bird. Primaries are long of medium width
with secondaries moderately long and broad.

Tail
Tail is full and carried high, pointing upwards and held close to the body of
the bird with no space between the body and tail. The sickle feathers are
relatively straight and spear like. A minimum of one inch longer than the other
tail feathers, but ideally no more than a couple of inches above the head is
desirable. The remaining tail feathers should ideally be no higher than the top
of the comb when the bird is standing to attention. The Main tail feathers
should be broad and should over lap neatly. The tail should be open and when
viewed from behind should be open to an angle of 45 degrees creating an open ‘V’
shape.

Head
Head should be small and carried well back. Head is required beyond the level of
the feet and held in position of more than 90 degrees from the feet. The single
comb is small to medium in size with a minimum of five serrations preferred. The
comb should be straight smooth, free of folds or any deformities and tending
towards flyaway type. Wattles are to compliment the comb, smaller being
preferred and free from folds and wrinkles.

Legs and feet
The legs are of medium to long length, straight and set wide apart to allow for
full and muscular body. They should be strong and stable. Thighs should be of
medium length and well muscled with shanks of good thickness. They should not
appear soft and weak.

Feathers & Colour
Like some other Asiatic breeds, they are not colour bred in their native
country. Only normal feathered birds are accepted in Malaysia. Feathers held
tight against the body and should not be long or flowing.
