Golden Sebright or No?

[BlackIce]

No wonder, it's a cutie! You're very blessed with that one.
Sebrights can definitely be varied....just look at my batch of 6 from last year!

So cute! Is there a way to sex sebrights by color or will i have to wait for their comb/wattle development. Ive noticed some have lighter lacing and some have a darker beak. Could this determine if they are a roo or pullet?

Thank you! I love them.
You'll have to wait for comb/wattle development on these little boogers. It took my cockerel about 7 weeks or so to start showing his true colors, while the pullets waited to pink up a couple months after the fact.

Do sebrights normally have different comb types or is this uncommon?

The standard calls for a rose comb. Single combs tend to pop up in rose comb breeds because apparently the rose comb is linked to lower fertility but I never hear people saying that their Dominiques or Wyandottes aren’t hitting the mark.

I got a golden sebright from TSC with feathered legs. Its only 2 weeks old, I can't wait to see how it looks when its older.

Maybe you got a Cochin then

I don't believe so, but you never know. I think it's just the hatchery. This year a few of my birds have been funky. Like the silkie with 4 toes each foot.

Hatcheries generally strive to give a basic representation of the breeds that they are selling so selling feather legged Sebrights would not be something I can see a hatchery doing. Just my 2 cents
I had a pair of Birchen Silkies with 4 toes on each foot. I’m pretty sure they were culls from someone’s breeding project.

Do you have any pictures? I'd like to see it!

The hatchery my TSC uses doesn't have cochins (at least in bantam) I didn't search for full size though.
