The Foreigners Sebrights

Yay congrats!!

My little one is almost 5 weeks old now, and I still think it's a Golden Sebright. I'm calling it a she for now, but I guess time will tell. She's very flighty, very active, and while she might not want to sit on my shoulder like my cochin, she wants to me on or very near me most times. She's the loudest of my little bantam crew, and I just love her.

Definitely looks like a gold Sebright to me
Mine have always been pretty flighty even as day old chicks they are a bit nuts.

Working out genders has been a bit hit and miss for me. One group of chicks I hatched I didn't have any idea male or female till about 8 weeks old, then another group showed up their pink combs at 4 weeks. I'm guessing female for yours too.

First sebright chick of the season


My guess at this stage is it's male. (Working on a little theory)

Thank you! She's definitely a bit nuts, lol. She'll suddenly get the zoomies and run around squawking loudly for about 10 seconds, scare the others, and then settle down to peck at the grass like nothing happened. I told her yesterday that it wasn't necessary to attract every predator in a mile radius with that piercing screech.
