Default Serama Chickens

I just bought some Serama Chicken eggs to set in my incubator. I plan to raise a few chicks as pets for my daughters ages 2 and 5. I have looked and looked but I can not find any info on housing for them specifically. They are very small and I am looking for sizes for nest boxes, roosts, feeders and the like. I assume they can not go in with my laying flock due to size difference.

Any advice and or info would be greatly appreciated.

They are bantams. For the most part, they require the same management as any other breed of bantams. Pay particular attention to quarantine procedures, cleanliness and disinfection, as that breed is notorious for being unthrifty and sickly. There are limits to how small any species can be bred down to, and with those little chickens, they are pushing those limits.
