Sebright cross breed??

[Fluttershy17]

These two cockerels were supposed to be Sebrights, but I think they may be cross breeds. Anyone have any ideas?

Look like Gold Sebrights

Gotcha. I thought they may have been too dark on their backs and had saddle feathers and longer tail feathers coming in. Does “hen feathered” mean their feathers are more rounded, then? I thought it meant the cockerels would look just like the pullets.

Hen feathered breeds don't have the traditional long saddle feathers on males.

Copy that. I’ll wait until they grow a little more and see what they look like. I appreciate the info!

Not all hatchery Sebrights will be hen feathered though. Poor genetics.
