Your boy has a straight comb, so there's something mix in his background. Could account for the slight curve in the hackles.

x2! And he (if its a he) will most definitely try!

You have a few options, and a little time to find a solution. Is this your only chick? And do you plan to get more? -- Look into crow collars. There are also some homemade things that folks have found to help reduce crowing, as simple as slipping a cut-off baby sock around the roosters...

At that young of an age, its really hard to tell, but I'd say either is still possible.... You will probably know within another week or so.

This little guy has some mix in his background. Sebrights should have a rose comb. All of my sebrights were noisy, the roos crow very robust for their size. And the girls were very talkative too! Funny little noises, but talked all the time!

Yes, I meant it was my personal taste. Just as I personally don't care for some breeds in the laced patterns, I'm weird that way lol! But thanks, you do make some valid points. And the colors are beautiful! Don't get me wrong. I was just curious if it stayed true or do single combs (and such)...

Maybe its just me, but I think sebrights should be silver or golden. Period. To get all these designer colors, they are being crossed with other breeds to bring the colors in, correct? How many generations does it breed true, and how many generations is it before they are no longer...

Males carry 2 copies of the gene (one from each parent) females carry one (received from the father) Split for gold means the male would be carrying one silver copy and one gold copy. So when those offspring are bred, the split males could donate either color to their future offspring. (this...

Depends on which one is silver and which one is gold. Silver is dominant and sex-linked Gold cock over silver hen produces gold females and silver males split for gold. So sexable at hatch. Silver cock over gold hen produces all silver looking chicks, but males will be split for gold, not...

Very pretty!

@sledford I've heard this called smuttiness, if its just dirty looking, and not actual spots. And I've heard that smuttiness can go away after a molt. Not to worry in a young one.

Good luck! :fl I have an oegb sitting that is also due next week! But none of my sebrights have shown any signs of broodiness yet!

Some say they do. Mine haven't yet, but they are less than a year old. Been laying for a few months though.

I just started last year, but haven't had any trouble at all! The girls may seem a little less submissive to their rooster than some of my other breeds, but they do submit. I've incubated several batches, and not had any major issues... nothing that I would contribute to the breed itself...

Good question. I found one site that said they crossed in a buff OEGB to start buff sebrights. Found another site that is breeding lavenders, lilac, citron and buff. I'd guess they are all crossing with OEGB, Japanese, or other similar bantams.

How old? Looks female to me, but a better shot of the tail would help

These are notes that I took when I first researched silver and gold. Somewhat contradictory, but maybe someone else will chime in with what is correct 1. If the hen is silver, the male chicks will be silver, the female chicks will be gold. If the roo is silver, then all the chicks, male and...

Nice! I was actually thinking after I posted that, I wonder how much difference it makes. I think maybe more around the hackle feathers is where I see the most difference in mine. Does anyone know if darker or lighter hackle feathers are more desirable in the hens? I have a couple that are...

So precious!! Thank you. I'm glad momma permitted it.... sorry that she's mad at you now though. Mine were so much darker in the black areas, I'm thinking that's not a good sign for me. I have 6 more in my incubator right now, day 14.

So sweet! Love the pic of the sebright peeking out from under mama! Congrats on the hatch and good luck on the current sitters. Hope you'll post more pics!
