SEBRIGHT BANTAMS – GOLDEN AND SILVER The Sebright is a breed of chicken named after its developer, Sir John Saunders Sebright. Created in the 19th century through a selective breeding program designed to produce an ornamental breed, the Sebright is a true bantam, meaning it is a miniature bird with no corresponding large fowl to which it is related. Sebrights Currently For Sale. The Standard The Sebright is an ornamental chicken. As a true bantam, all Sebrights are very small in stature; males weigh an average of 22 ounces (625g) and females 20 oz.(570g.) Their short backs, proportionally large breasts, and downward–pointing wings combine to create an angular, jaunty look. All Sebrights have plumage that is laced around the edges evenly with black, on a base of either dark gold or whitish silver. Sebrights have unfeathered legs with slate–blue skin, and their beaks are ideally a dark horn colour. Sebright roosters carry a rose comb covered with fine points, and a small spike that sweeps back from the head (called a leader). Combs, earlobes and wattles should be a mulberry/purplish colour. Characteristically, Sebrights are only one of a few chicken breeds in which the males are hen feathered, meaning they have none of the long, sickle–shaped feathers common in most roosters that appear in the tail, neck and saddle. |
