Ahh. Here is the thread I'm looking for lol.
I just bought 6 chicks, 4 red pullets and 2 bantams. The two bantams turned out to be gold sebrights. I didn't know much about breeds during my first ever chicken purchase last sat, but I've learned a lot over the week and still accumulating knowledge..lol. The darker one I just started identifying as a gold sebright as well, as she has gotten more color in her wings over the last wk. Will she just not have god lacing or is she mixed perhaps?
Anyways, hopefully know one on the site is getting tired of seeing the pictures and hearing my story..lol. I'm new so have been on different threads looking for answers to many different questions, a lot of which I have yet to ask..heh. Here are some pics. Any feedback is helpful. Enjoy. = )
Here is a picture of the 2 bantams on the day I bought them last week. I picked the one because of it's pretty gold wings, not knowing the breed at the time. It was the only one in the bin with the colored wings so it stuck out for me instantly. Then I picked the darkest one in the bin. Who knew I would end up with the 2 golds. I'm pretty sure the rest of the crowd were oegb's. I'm not sure if the one with good lacing could possibly make for good show quality even though it's from tsc? I sure do love the coloring.
This is the one on the right, but from within the last 24 hrs.
These are 2 pictures of the darker one from within the last 24 hrs. You can see a lot more gold has come in over the last week.
Another picture of them together from a couple days ago. Poor lighting. :p Is the little spike on the back of the comb an early indication that it's male? I read this on another thread earlier, but wasn't sure if it was true. I feel like it does demonstrate some male characteristics though. It's more bold than the others, likes to fly to the top of the feeder and watch all the rest of the chickens with a somewhat dominant stand, and it's quite concerned when I take the other bantam out and it hears her peeping. = ) It'll fly to the edge of the box or to the top of the feeder to keep an eye on her. He or she is the most interested in jumping onto my hand to get a lift up. Sometimes it even seems jealous if it looks like another chick is about to hitch a ride up lol. One time it ran quickly into my hand and pecked toward the other chick haha. It does have a much harder peck that the others as well. Roo? Sorry for the ramble. I think it's probably a reason people don't like to read/respond to my posts lol!
