The Sebright is a bantam breed of chicken originating from The UK and created by Sir John Sebright, hence the name. Their only recognized colors are gold and silver, which have either a white or gold feather, each laced with a striking black rim. We raise silver Sebrights, and we love how the cocks are “hen feathered.” This means both sexes will have strikingly similar plumage, with the stags lacking traditional male hackle or sickle feathering at the nape, saddle, and tail. Any thin, pointed feathering laying longer than and inch and a half beyond the proper tail will disqualify a bird from show, and also suggests poor breeding lineage, so we only breed correctly feathered Sebrights. Other disqualifiers we would cull from our flocks would be any comb other than a rose comb, including the absence of a spike or leader on the stags, incorrectly colored shanks, as they should be slate blue, and anyone too hefty because cocks should not surpass 30oz, and hens should be 26oz or less in weight. If you see these disqualifying marks in any of the stock you intend to add to your farm, be advised they are indiscriminately bred or could even be a hybrid with another bantam breed.
