18 hens 4 roosters
2 sebright hens
1 Sebrights roo
Once i start finding little sebright eggs im going to put them in their own pen with the roo & let them do their thing
I bought the sebrights seperate from my flock of peeps. I got them july-ish from a private seller who said "they should be...
I have:
2 whiting true blue
2 whiting true green
8 buff orphingtons 3 of which are laying & 5 more just about ready. We are up to 8 eggs per day.
Keep in mind im in south tennessee & winter is generally sunny & 50ish at worst. Do have some cooler nights sporadically. But mild to say the...
Sebrights no eggs yet, 6 of my 20 hens started laying, the sebrights nothing yet. Not sure on their exact age but when i bought them the breeder said "should see eggs in a few weeks". The rooster is doing his job but not seeing any eggs. Also their combs dont appear to be full yet. Im thinking...
Her lucky day as today down in Tennessee the heat index is over 100 and shes in the AC watching gunsmoke. Being there was an injury this does not count as "movie night" like that "crazy chicken lady" LOL
Just teasing couldnt resist
Well this morning i went into the coop and let the sebrights out. Instant chaos. Nobody attacked anyone just everyone flying and running around.
I saw the guineas pecking the floor and I noticed fresh blood on the floor. The drops were real fresh.
The guineas and ALL the chicks went into a...
No names yet, but I think I will call one of the girls Sue. Lol thanks for reminding me
When he hears me coming he crows his head off. Tomorrow I am going to try to video him. Last time i took my phone down there he was quiet.
I am thinking of letting them out of the pen and letting them join...
Today i had an older relative (real old) come over to see the Sebright rooster. Instead of having him walk all the way back to the coop in the heat i went back to get the bird.
While walking in the coop he crowed at me and i opened his pen and he let me grab him. I could tell he wasnt happy...
Thank you. The family that sold them to me showed me some of their breeding pairs i was very impressed. They got them from a guy in florida who is supposed to be a breeder of some guy in florida who is well known for good sebright stock. The pictures were nice so I drove 27 miles through the...
Well this morning I cancled my order for gold sebrights after finding some 30 miles away. I went to look at a breeding pair and came home with 3. 1 boy 2 girls. A few weeks from laying eggs. Very vivid color very happy. I put them in the coop and seperated them from all the chicks in their own...
Well.....I DID IT !!
I was looking at a list of hatcheries here on BYC. I opened every link to every hatchery and searched for Golden Sebrights.
The ones that didnt have them I closed and the ones that did have them i shopped until check out and ALL had minimim orders of 20 birds and in some...
so this bird is offered for sale, his color appears a but dull. Could this be that he is not a pure bred sebright?
Now buying a rooster seperate would insure I don't get related birds but shouldn't I look for one who has perfect color?
Can someone explain why this one appears dull?
Maybe...
I put an ad on a local FB poultry group and has someone respond with roosters only. I must say the colors do not look as vivid as some of the birds I see here. For example the last picture posted by Sue T. Her birds have vivid color and defination. The rooster someone showed me looks kind of...
I had a recent poultry swap no Sebrights. I looked at cackle and murry mcmurray both have 15 bird minimum. Last night found some that have 20 bird minimums. I will look at heartland. I think minimum is for shipping and bodyheat purposes
