Gold Sebright Bantam Chicks

Purely Poultry is excited to introduce the Gold Sebright Bantam Chickens, a breed that brings both beauty and personality to your flock. Developed in the early 1800s by Sir John Saunders Sebright, these bantams are known for their stunning golden feathers, each edged with a sharp black lacing that gives them their signature, eye-catching appearance. Officially recognized by the American Poultry Association since 1874, these birds are not only a delight to look at but also carry historical significance.

One of the unique features of the Gold Sebright Bantam is that both males and females share the same striking feather coloration—a rare trait in the poultry world. Their compact, short bodies, complemented by large, downward-angled wings, give them a distinctive and elegant look. Despite their petite size, with roosters weighing about 22 ounces and hens around 20 ounces, they carry themselves with a regal air that makes them stand out in any flock.

While these bantams are known for their ornamental beauty, they also make practical additions to your backyard. Hens lay about 60-80 small, tinted eggs each year, providing a nice contribution to your egg basket. Though they aren’t typically known for going broody, Gold Sebright Bantams are lively and full of energy, bringing a vibrant dynamic to your coop. Their bold and spirited nature adds excitement, and while they may not be the most hands-on or cuddly breed, they are a joy to watch as they strut with confidence.

It’s worth noting that Gold Sebright Bantams do best in warmer climates, as they are not particularly cold hardy. In milder regions, they thrive, bringing a touch of golden elegance to your flock. Whether you’re showcasing them at poultry exhibitions or simply enjoying their presence in your backyard, these bantams are sure to impress with their stunning appearance and engaging character.

At Purely Poultry, we are proud to offer these beautiful Gold Sebright Bantams, alongside a wide range of other ornamental and bantam breeds. If you’re looking to add a touch of elegance and personality to your flock, these bantams are a perfect choice. Explore our collection today and bring home the charm of the Gold Sebright Bantam!
