Sebrights are bantam chickens that are very poor layers;rnthey lay very few and small eggs. Plus since they are a bantam they are not thernsource of much meat. Their primary function is as a decorative bird and a showrnbird. Being so small, it's very easy to fit a large number of them into one henrnhouse, and as they get along well with each other, you can even have a fewrnroosters living together.
rnrnThe Hens are not very broody with their chicks and malesrnaren't particularly keen on crowing all the time, making them a quieter breedrnto have around.
rnrnThe males and females are nearly identical in appearance duernto breeding roosters with hen-like feather qualities. Because of their smallrnsize, they have a very prominent breast and a youthful demeanor about them.rnThere are no ornamental feathers on their bodies, allowing them to have a veryrnstriking laced pattern in either a gold pattern with black lace or a silverrnpattern with black lace, though other colors are slowly being breed. They haverna short head with rose combs.
rnrnThey need warmth to decide to procreate, so the best time torntry breeding them is during the spring. Be aware that Sebrights are prone tornMarek's paralysis, a disease that can strike fast and is always fatal. Becausernof this, it is imperative that all Sebrights are vaccinated early. Always askrnto make sure the Sebright you're getting is vaccinated, otherwise set asiderntime to get it done.
