The Silver Sebright Bantam emerged in England around 1810. Sir John Saunders Sebright spent 30 years developing this true breed. The Silver Sebright Bantam was admitted to the American Standard of Perfection in 1874.
The Sebright breed is known as a true breed because it is not related to any other standard breed. The hen and the cockerels have the same rose comb, feathering and very close in size as well. The cockerel weighs in around 22 ounces and the hen around 20 ounces. This breed is also not very cold hardy and will do much better in warmer climates.
The Silver Sebright Bantam is a very active, courageous bird that acts larger than they are. This breed is not very docile which makes them not broody and non-setters. The Sebright is also known for its large wings which enable them to fly. This breed is also very hard to breed and hatch. Mostly the Silver Sebright Bantam is known for being an ornamental bird, it also is a great bird to raise and show.

We purchased our chicks last spring. They all came very well packed and in excellent condition. I think our bigger chicks trampled over our little guys. We tried to replace them but the same happened. I’m sure on their own they would be as great as our other chickens that started laying at about 4 1/2 – 5 months old and have layed eggs all winter. Wouldn’t recommend getting shipped with bigger chicks.

Received my 5 chicks in July all in excellent condition and an extra one! They are now 2 months old and striving! They are beautiful birds (got the silver color), they follow me around in the yard wanting their treats (mealworms) and getting along with my adult hens. Thank you for an awesome experience. I referred you to an acquaintance who was complimenting me on my gorgeous chicks! A+++
