Silver Sebright Bantam Chicks

Purely Poultry is thrilled to offer the Silver Sebright Bantam Chickens, a breed that brings together elegance, history, and a touch of ornamental beauty. Developed in the early 1800s by Sir John Saunders Sebright in England, these bantams have been captivating poultry enthusiasts for centuries. Their striking silver-white feathers, each perfectly edged in sharp black lacing, make them one of the most visually stunning breeds available. It’s no surprise they’ve been recognized in the American Poultry Association’s Standard of Perfection since 1874.

What truly sets the Silver Sebright Bantams apart is their unique physical traits. Unlike most roosters, Silver Sebright males don’t develop long sickle feathers, which gives them a sleek and polished look. Both males and females share the same gorgeous coloring—a rare feature in poultry breeds, adding to their appeal. These birds are compact, with roosters weighing around 22 ounces and hens slightly lighter at 20 ounces, making them perfect for backyard setups or poultry exhibitions. Their large, ground-sweeping wings and upright posture give them an air of grace and sophistication that’s hard to overlook.

While they are primarily sought for their ornamental beauty, Silver Sebright Bantams are also a practical addition to any flock. Though they aren’t known for being prolific layers, hens do produce small, tinted eggs. They are generally calm birds, making them easy to manage, though they don’t often go broody. Their true value comes from the elegance and historical charm they bring to your flock, turning any space into a showpiece with their striking looks and refined demeanor.

Silver Sebright Bantams are particularly well-suited to warmer climates and are an excellent choice for poultry enthusiasts, whether you’re a seasoned keeper or just starting out. Their spirited personalities and beautiful feathering make them a joy to watch as they go about their day, bringing energy and beauty to your flock.

If you’re looking to add a touch of timeless beauty to your poultry collection, the Silver Sebright Bantam is an excellent choice. Explore more ornamental and heritage breeds at Purely Poultry, and build a backyard flock that’s as charming as it is colorful!
