Poultry Breeds - Sebright
The Sebright is a British breed of bird. A chap called Sir John Sebright developed the bird during the early 1800's. They are a cross between a common bantam and a polish fowl.
They are difficult birds to raise and therefore are not suitable for the beginner. The adults are hardy and active and like to free range. If there are trees around them they do like to roost in them. They do not lay many eggs but the ones they do are small and white. Sebrights are very upright birds that like to strut around.
The Sebright is famous for the quality of the lacing in its feathers. Each feather is edged with black, making the ground colour appear brighter and more striking. It is a true bantam having no larger counterpart in poultry breeds.
