I have no idea on that. I don't know anything abt showing chickens.
Ok, thanks anyway!

Here's Trouble coming in for a landing! I took this pic when we had a nice spring 60'F day in January. (It's back down to 20'F now.)
Trouble is our only Sebright & the only tiny bantam in a sea of giant Orpingtons. She makes up for her size with noise, speed, & agility.
Some of you may remember Trouble's famous video: (OK I might be exaggerating about the "famous" part, but we're still proud.)
Well, thank you. Trouble "thinks" she's famous & the queen hen of the coop. All visitors come here to see HER & bring her treats. Even some of the neighbor stop by, call her by name, & hold out their arm to allow her to land & take a special treat. Nope. She's not spoiled at all!It is so nice to hear from Trouble again! And what an awesome pic. It's funny that you think we don't remember that video. Certain parties among us told everyone we know about it....
I've heard that Sebrights are tough to breed. Not sure if its because of their feisty attitudes, fertility issues, or difficult incubation.It's so good to find this thread, with all the wonderful pics and so much information. I am having some Golden Sebright eggs shipped, and so I hope to have chicks hatched within a month.
How difficult are Sebright eggs to incubate? I've had a good success rate with other types of shipped eggs.
If I can get these pretty little birds to hatch, they will eventually be joining Silkies that are five months older, and Brahmas that will be about six weeks older. Does this sound like a mix that might work? So far, the young Silkies (4 months) are very accepting of the tiny Brahmas (2 weeks) during 'playdates.' I am wondering if the Sebrights will hold their own with older/larger birds.
Also, if they free-range, are they likely to stay on the property? So far, the Silkies, Red Stars and RIR do a wonderful job of staying in a close area, but I hear that Sebrights are great flyers and may take off. Is that so?
Thanks for any input, as this breed is new to me. I know they aren't stellar for egg production, but I just couldn't resist the incredible cuteness.
