Golden Sebright Bantam

Product ID: 3GSB
Elegance comes naturally to the Golden Sebright. Their unique plumage features a sharply defined black lace pattern. This is the only Bantam breed where males and females have nearly identical coloration.

Golden Sebright: A Unique Ornamental Bantam

This breed has a coppery gold feather base, edged by a sharp black outline. Their feathers are tight and almond shaped, giving the illusion of a delicate lace pattern. Their wings are large and point down away from their bodies. Their skin and beaks are typically a slate blue color, but their beaks can occasionally be a shade of bone or ivory. 

Unlike other bantam breeds, Golden Sebright roosters and hens look quite similar. If you value a uniform appearance within your flock, then these birds would be an attractive option. 

This breed is primarily ornamental, but they could also be kept as a pet with proper socialization. Sebrights are generally friendly, but they are a bit flightier and more active than other bantam breeds. 

Golden Sebright hens produce small white to cream-colored eggs. If kept in optimal conditions, they have a fair egg yield between 120-150 per year. 

This breed is best suited to warmer climates. Although bantam chickens are more likely to go broody, this breed is less likely to set.

Quick Facts About Golden Sebright Bantams

Is this breed considered a true bantam? Yes, there is no standard-size counterpart to this breed, only a bantam sized version.

Where did this breed originate? They are a British bantam breed, created by a gentleman named Sir John Saunders Sebright. After much trial and error, the desired lace pattern was perfected through years of poultry breeding. The American Poultry Association entered the breed into the Standard of Perfection in 1874.

What do Golden Sebright chicks look like? They are a mix of gold, dark brown, or black. Males and females are nearly identical at hatch, so they are not color sexable.

What kind of comb does this breed have? These bantams have a close-fitting rose comb.

Do baby chicks have any special care requirements? While raising bantams and layers is mostly the same, there are a few key things to keep in mind regarding their size. Bantams are much smaller, and more susceptible to chilling or drowning in their water source. Learn more from our care guide.

Can this breed live with standard-size chickens? Yes, but with careful introductions and coop management. At just 20 oz to 22 oz when they reach maturity, this breed is very small. Make sure your coop has plenty of space and places to hide to prevent bullying. 

Is this a clean-legged or feather-legged breed?
These bantams are clean-legged, but if you're interested in feather-legged, consider the classic White Silkie bantam.
