Chicken Breed Focus - Sebright

[Faraday40]

Update:
Here's my Sebright, Trouble, & her giant orp chicks. The lavs hatched on May 13th & the black orp on May 18th. (She was easily adopted by this great broody.)

They are now about 6 weeks old. They surpassed mama in size about a week ago, but she still leads them around & tries to cover them at night. For a breed that "seldom goes broody" she has some strong maternal instincts.



Of course my regular broody (a bantam orp: Cookie) could not let Trouble steal all the attention.
Her chicks hatched June 22nd.

My Sebrights! They are so curious ! Vocal and just comical !
Don't know how up to standard they are , but I love them just the same

I have 4 roosters and two hens . Saw where they were just put on the Livestock Conservancies Critical list .
About how old are they when they start laying ?

Beautiful pics. Mine took a long time - about 5.5 months. Of course it was winter, so daylight hours was more of a factor than age. My female didn't have much of a comb & it was pink/ not red. When that finally changed, she began laying.

So I ended up with a group of sebrights from tsc, they are beautiful birds and they have certainly wormed their way into my heart.

Here are a few pics:

This fella seems mixed to me, but he is a sweetie so far.

So are gold bred to gold or can you cross the colors?

This is a pic of the seabright I used to have. Does anyone know what the bird is behind her?

The dark colored hen looks sort of like a Dark Cornish bantam.
