A Sebright egg hatched!

[John Roth]

Out of 6 eggs only one Sebright egg hatched. But can someone show me a pic of a newly hatched White Sebright chick. This chick has a white head, a black body, and two white stripes down its back. Is this a Sebright or a Sebright cross?

These are two from a bantam bin that turned out to be silver sebrights (hatchery stock)


This one turned out to be a golden sebright

Could you post a picture of your chick?

Here it is!!

I think that could be a Silver Sebright chick, maybe lower quality. Some are darker and have some apparent chipmunk strips.
Here's the sebright chicks from My Pet Chicken

You'll have to wait until it feathers out to know for sure though. I'm not an expert in sebrights, I just have a couple. Lemme tag someone who would know

So the two possible Sebright parents would be a golden Sebright hen and this white rooster.

A golden seabright x a silver sebright (what you're calling white) could lead to funky coloring. I've read that if you mix a Silver male with a golden female, all of the females will be silver and the males will be a mixture of golden and silver. Post pics as it grows!

Ok I will!

Silver is dominant and sexlinked. If the hen is silver, the male chicks will be silver, the female chicks will be gold. If the rooster is silver, than all the chicks, male and female, could be silver.

Sorry I got that backwards!

I'm guessing that the chick is a Silver Sebright x Golden Sebright cross, which is changing the coloration. It could still be a purebred Sebright, though.
