Because everybody needs a sebright and as many as possible should be helping keep the breed alive and pure.

Stoppit! I am committed to Ameraucanas now. My heart is pure and I will .. not ... be ... ugh ... swayed! Besides, I only have one coop. I could NOT keep these adorable darlings pure. Not now anyway. I will just have to admire yours from afar.

You enabler, you!

That's why the only non-Nankin bantams I have lay colored eggs - brown, rosy-tan and shades of aqua. It keeps me honest at hatching time and keeps me from muddying the purebreds. I only hatch the creamy little Nankin eggs. All other colors are fair game for cooking & sharing!

I like the nice clean distinction between the black lacing and the silver.... I may have an aversion to "messy" colours

Gold birds seem harder to get "clean" lacing here.... and the gold color just isn't my favorite.

Im not "hating" on them at all.... its just very much a personal preference

Oh I totally understand ya! Personal preference is absolutely valid! Haha! I like the Goldens better, you like the Silvers better, but they are all beautiful! It just means more niches are filled! I like that! I think it's neat! Hehe, thanks for getting into it!

My last golden rooster has very, very, nice, clean lacing. It was hard to let him go, but he's right next door, so I can borrow him if I want. The reason I let him go was that he's a bit large, and doesn't have the gypsy colouring. My current rooster has gypsy, but not so nice lacing. It was really hard to choose between them. I ended up deciding that since gypsy was more important, since it seems to be harder to find anymore, even in show lines, from what I've seen. It was very tough, especially as I'm not very seasoned as a breeder. What would you do in that scenario? What's most important to you in your lines? Lacing? Sorry if I'm talking too much.

I totally get it! Variety is the spice of life.


I brought in a couple of different lines into mine this season and its brought me a few headaches in the lacing department.

So I'm going for tidy lacing and also size... I have had a few roosters that are getting rather on the large side when grown.... seems to be a thing when producing birds for show that "bigger is better", in my book if its meant to be a certain small banty size, thats the way it should stay. Also a lot I have seen are rather squirrel tailed ... dont like that either.
