You may have a male which would not be surprising since Ideal only sells bantams straight run. Can you post pictures of them with emphasis on their heads. Females will develop a very small comb but the male will develop comb and wattles.

Calm down! I have 5 Sebrights. One Silver male and two Silver females as well as two Golden females. I raised them from chicks that I ordered and that were shipped by mail. I brooded them the same as any other chicks that I have raised. All five survived to adulthood and are thriving outside in...

Yes you can breed Silver and Golden. The offspring MAY be what is referred to as Buff or Chamois and is not currently officially recognized. One breeder, One Earth Farm, is actually breeding various colors of Sebrights now including lavender, lilac, citron, buff, gold and silver. How stable...

Since it is a recessive gene probably not all of them. However, they may be more likely to produce offspring with the single comb and, at least ethically, if you sell them you should disclose this to the purchasers.

They have pretty significant comb development for pullets so I would guess they are a bit older than you are guessing. My Sebright hens are almost a year old and just have minimal combs. Pictures in posting 1409 above.

I can only answer some of your questions. I have never incubated bantam eggs but, for Sebrights, I have read that they are more difficult to hatch and with a lower hatch rate/survival rate. That said, if you do everything you can correctly, you will improve your chances proportionate to your...

Mine were like large marbles when I got them at a couple of days old. Now they are full grown and about the size or a pigeon.

Great. I am only about 250 miles north of Pleasanton (just north of Coleman). Be sure to post in the For Sale forum when you have any you might want to sell.

Well they are beautiful. I have five and they are precious little birds. Very friendly and calm around me. Are you planning to breed? Sebrights will go broody but not often so you may have to incubate if you are planning that.

They are lovely. I see a third, how many do you have?

How lucky for you. If you get the chance post pictures. I have 3 Silvers and 2 Goldens and I love them. They are friendly and very sweet, but really flighty so make sure they have a covered run.

Was the egg unusually large for a Sebright? I have noticed that mine make a sound like a Peacock when they are laying.

I have always thought if you could translate the so-called "egg song" of chickens (large or small) that it would not actually be a song but more something like "give me pain pills and give them to me now!!!!!"

That is a hard one. The comb on the bird on the right is not a big as a rooster but appears, in the picture, to be larger than a hen. I am leaning toward hen but it is really hard to tell, sorry.

I would have to see pictures of them all to be sure. Roosters develop a very distinct and noticable comb. Hens will develop a tiny hint of a comb but no where near what the rooster has. You may have a rooster and two hens. That would be a good distribution of genders. If it does prove to be two...

I think you will enjoy them. I have one Silver rooster, two Silver females and two Golden females. They are about the size of a pigeon and are one of the few "true" Bantams which just means that they exist only as Bantams and that there are no Large Fowl equivalents to them. Also the Sebrights...

Yes. That is a Silver Sebright rooster in the front and a Silver Sebright hen behind him.

I have one Silver Sebright rooster, two Silver females and two Golden females. They are abosolutely beautiful birds and lay 2-3 eggs a day. The interesting thing that I did not know or expect is some of the sounds they make. The females make a sound, usually in the mornings, that sound exactly...

Think you are right about Nigel...rooster through and through. Claude however may very well be Claudine. Hard to tell from just pictures at this age but based on their comb development for 5 weeks that would be my guess.

I got mine from Ideal Poultry in Cameron, TX. They have a minimum order based on dollars instead of number of birds. Their minimum is 25 dollars plus shipping. They have the Silver, Golden and Buff all straight run, no sexed birds. When I ordered mine they came with 14 packing peanuts for warmth...
