Oh I am too. I have just got 3 golden sebrights 2 hens and 1 cockeral. Hope your ok with yours, I want ours to be friendly and get used to two collies.

What else can you feed 9 week old sebrights with other than baby chicken feed and when can I give them layers pellets?

You can move to chick finisher. I generally mix 1 bag of pellets to a bag of crumbles for my bantams....

Layer feed can be started when they are around point-of-lay age, about 5 to 6 months old. You're halfway there! You can let them range on grass or give them grass, corn, scratch and kitchen scraps. Just make sure to give plenty of grit too. I have been letting my sebrights range for half of a day around the house. The girls fly up on us and are extra friendly. Each cockerel may try to challenge us but with them being so small it isn't like it hurts at all;-) Picking up a foot flat side to the boy usually stops them the first time they hit it instead of your leg.

Mine get gamebird feed with mixed hard red wheat, safflower seeds, oats, and lots of grit, grass, vegies.

No layer feed. Its too hard on the pullets bodies at this age.

Are they good moms?

The crowing is increasing. I guess it's time to take my head out of the sand and admit this is a cockerel, right? (approximately 12 weeks)

 

[Cknldy]

Yep-definitely male! Pullets don't get the nice big fleshy combs like that. He is a beauty though I don't know if yours would go broody but I have had good luck hatching Sebrights. (If you can keep him)

Hi, i was hoping someone can help me. i was told that my chick is a sebright and he kind of looks like one but not really. i received him from a farm store labeled ameraucana.
here are some of his younger pics. he is now about 8 weeks. what i dont get is that if he is a sebright why is he bigger then all the other chicks even if he was a half breed shouldnt he be on the smaller end?

any info will be helpful thank you!
he is between the two leghorn chicks



the one on the end
