Each egg is collected with care, handled gently, and packed with intention to give your future flock the best possible start.
Raised in small, pampered flocks at Obsidian Roost, our Seramas are part of a lineage that balances elegance, friendliness, and vitality. Whether you're a seasoned hatcher or just beginning your journey, these eggs offer a chance to experience the magic of the world’s smallest chicken.
Every egg carries a little shadow and a little light — and maybe, just a little enchantment.
