Well they are beautiful. I have five and they are precious little birds. Very friendly and calm around me. Are you planning to breed? Sebrights will go broody but not often so you may have to incubate if you are planning that.Just these three.
Great. I am only about 250 miles north of Pleasanton (just north of Coleman). Be sure to post in the For Sale forum when you have any you might want to sell.I do have an incubator. I am wanting to breed them. I looked all over my area for them and never found any. Hopefully we can change that.
Mine were like large marbles when I got them at a couple of days old. Now they are full grown and about the size or a pigeon.
I can only answer some of your questions. I have never incubated bantam eggs but, for Sebrights, I have read that they are more difficult to hatch and with a lower hatch rate/survival rate. That said, if you do everything you can correctly, you will improve your chances proportionate to your effort. I feed my Sebrights the same feed that all my birds get, a good Flock Raiser and/or Layer feed. In addition I leave out chick grit and oyster shell free choice. My four hens lay and egg a day so far. I don't know if that is unusual or not.Thank you for the photos and stories. This is my first bantem breed. I am excited to hatch some as well.
Do any of you see them as having a special need because of their sz?
Are they harder to hatch?
Do yours get to same feed as the rest of your flock?
How often do yours lay?
Do you have any pics of their eggs?
