He’s most likely a cockerel.

Here’s a picture of my cochin cockerel “mothering” a bantam chick.

I'm going to have to try and make some myslef. Maybe a buff and silver would work? I have buffs comming, it wouldn't be hard to add silvers or and holds to my order

Buff is dominant white over gold laced. It would only get rid of the black on the silvers and you’d get mostly white birds.

The difficulty with sexing sebrights is that there are no male and female differences in the colours, patterns, or feathering. Both male and female have the henny feathered tail and both have the pea comb which is less easy to decide male vs female.
With a bit of practice - I can usually sex my bantams between 6 and 8 weeks. The males have thicker shanks, a more upright stature, more "hawkish" look in the face, and generally they start to act like little cockerels by that age. It is "less" obvious but the cockerel combs are usually more pronounced so if you have birds to compare you can pick the hens vs the cockerels.

You mean rose combs?

I suggest you make contact with some of your poultry clubs - they are likely to have breeder contacts for people with Sebrights. I suspect Aus will be like NZ - they are about but not common. If you want to show, then you are best to take your time to find the right source, as it's a hard road getting rid of non standard traits!

I have tried getting in touch with my local club however due to this thing called COVID no one has bothered to get back to me....

I’ve had a few replies on my other forum and now I’m just confused.... one person even said that she was a transgender chicken...

What other forum are you on? That doesn’t sound very educated if I’m gonna be totally honest.

I’d prefer not say... but to be honest even I’ve rolled my eyes and had a good chuckle about her being a transgender chicken.... so I’m taking that with a grain of salt... the same person told me to read chicken books to her so she knew how to act and behave

Well that solves the giant debate. Name him Caitlin. Then maybe he'll lay a fertile egg and brood it too!
