Sorry for the low quality image, but this was taken at Caversham Wildlife Park today. Is this chicken really a Sebright? The wildlife park claimed they had the breed in their stockbook. The chicken has a mulberry comb and wattles and yellow earlobes. The body is similar to a Sebright (I didn't take the full body shot) and has the normal lacing. Is it this breed or another breed of chicken?

I agree, looks like my Sebright hens. Mulberry is correct, they do seem to redden up right at lay.. this is my sebright hens most recent clutch, 2 are her eggs ( but unknown rooster and she stole a blue egg and hatched one) her comb is dull after sitting on the clutch and they are about 9 weeks here ( she typically stays with a clutch full time until 10 weeks, a week of nights only then sets them free)

My hens have fully mulberry comb, and that blue egg chick seems like a legbar cockerel. Also I think you have a pure sebright cockerel in the middle and a male mix on the left.
