Valley Hatchery proudly presents the mystical Silver Sebright Bantam Chickens, a breed steeped in history and elegance. Originating from England and developed by the esteemed Sir John Saunders Sebright in the early 1800s, these chickens are a testament to ornamental perfection. With their beautiful silvery white feathers intricately laced in black, they are more than just birds; they are living art, recognized by the American Poultry Associations – Standard of Perfection since 1874.
The Silver Sebright, a true gem among British bantams and one of the oldest breeds, exhibits a unique trait in males – the absence of sickle feathers, a rarity in the avian world. These chickens have a compact yet prominent size, highlighted by a stout and prominent breast. Both males and females boast large wings that angle gracefully towards the ground, adding to their dignified presence. Interestingly, both sexes share the same striking coloration, an unusual characteristic in chickens.
These charming birds are not just for show; they are also known for their docile nature and fair egg-laying capabilities, producing small tinted eggs. Weighing an average of 22 ounces for roosters and 20 ounces for hens, they fit perfectly in various settings, from exhibitions to backyard flocks. Recognized in the Rose Comb Clean Legged Bantams Class by the APA, their elegance is undeniable.
