Serama is the world's smallest chicken breed, originating from Malaysia, known for its tiny size (under a pound), upright posture, and friendly, confident personality, making them popular ornamental pets for small spaces. They have a proud, puffed-chest stance with wings held down, and despite their small size, hens are good layers of tiny eggs, though they are not very cold-hardy and require protection in winter.
