All About Serama For Sale

By Elise Harding


The Malaysian Serama is the lightest variety of chicken in existence and are from the country of Malaysia originally. The origins of this bird is unknown, many folk legends exist in Malaysia which suggest their possible origins, however, all are refuted and none have been proven wholeheartedly. These birds make popular pets due to their small and manageable size, and are generally regarded as pets rather than as culinary treats. There are many vendors who sell these animals online, or in shops depending on the location, however, finding them in pet shops can be difficult. There are many Serama for sale online.

There exist, mainly in America, a smaller variety of this already tiny chicken and as of now this particular variety can only be purchased in America. These dwarfed variety are the result of the breeding of a group of these animals which contained a gene that made then smaller. These birds were introduced to America in the early two-thousands. But regardless of the type of variety you purchase, typically the Serama is a bird that is quite small in comparison to most other chickens.

There exist many different breeds of the same bird in Malaysia itself a not all are miniature. Typically these animals are generally regarded as pets, due to their beauty, and are usually not reserved for food, however, it is certainly likely that they are dines upon in some cases.

Recently, introduction of this bird has occurred in the United Kingdom at some time in the early two-thousands and they are typically sold as pets there as well from distributors either online, or in shops. Breeders do exist, however, and can be contacted more directly mainly over the internet.
