What are my chances of getting show quality

[luvmychicknkids]

There is a hatchery that claims to sell show quality birds....or well, sell chicks and eggs from show quality stock, anyway. They are called Superior Farms and are located in Oklahoma. I have no clue if they have Sebrights, though, but they do have a rather large selection. I plan to order La Fleche eggs from them and those are pretty hard to get, so they may have what you are looking for. Good luck.

Did you use the BYC breeder list? Here is the only breeder under that breed.

All the birds shown have the wrong comb color, they are supposed to be mulberry not red.

This is FALSE. I've asked professionals and the comb in the rooster is suppose to be RED. For the hens, there has to be some mulberry.

Jerry Bonds of Ila GA has the best Sebrights I've ever seen.

You are right. Combs are supposed to be red. I have no idea why everybody is saying that it should be mulberry.

Here are some of my baby sebright chicks I hatched this past spring/summer.

Here is one of my silver sebright roosters.

As far as I know he doesn't have a website. Check your ABA and APA yearbooks he has an ad in both.

I'm not sure about this. The Standard calls for purplish red as the color of both male and female comb and face color in both gold and silver sebrights. I've seen it often enough in females, but very rarely in males. I've seen males with good face color, but the comb always seems to tend toward the bright red instead of the more purplish red that is called for.
