I have a question. How would seabrights go in the same pen as the bigger girls?

I have a question. How would seabrights go in the same pen as the bigger girls?

Mine do just fine, but I made sure to raise them with the bigger birds. Sebrights are tough little chooks that don't put up with being bullied but that means they shouldn't be placed with overly aggressive hens like RIR (Rhode Island Reds) who are notorious for turning on smaller hens. Make sure you introduce them gently (putting a few hens with the Sebrights in a place that they haven't visited before). There may be a bit of scuffle at first as they work out who's in charge, but it should work out. Another good idea is to add another feeder and water container so no one gets to be territorial of the food and stave the others (Sebrights are actually more likely to do this than the big hens, mine don't but I've heard of it).

On another note, show us PICTURES!!!! I love Sebright's (mine are gold, but silver is good too). There is a facebook group for them here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/Sebright/

I candled my eggs and they all seem to be fine apart from 2 with blood rings, quite a few posted eggs are out now as they were shook up badly and their air cells are everywhere, 4 of the dozen from terry hill look clear, 2 had blood rings. They were only effected for about an hour in the last black out though, not like my ones that just hatched. Sorry to hear about your eggs ash, did you check any of them for fertility? Sam is sooo gorgeous Sam Here are the rest of the frizzle pics.... They are so snuggly!
This one is most likely not a frizzle, my daughter just fell in love with it






This is the same one ^ v

Good score Ash. Are they going into your project birds or just staying as sussex.

They will be staying as Sussex- one of the heritage breeds I have wanted to get. This lady also has good
SLWs.

Appeared to not be fertile, but most of the failures were in my "second best" incubator, so.....
