A proper sebright should not.

I think your sebright may be a boy, but since they're hen feathered, it's hard to tell. I think you'll just have to wait for eggs. If it's a girl, it should start laying soon.

Sebright males are hen-feathered, meaning they don't have the sickle-shaped tail feathers of a rooster, but the rounded tail feathers a hen would have.
Although I have an egg-laying Silver Laced Sebright named Stormy, and she used to crow. (Not anymore, though) Here are some photos of Stormy, so you have a better idea of what female Sebrights look like.

Thank you!

Yes, thats why i was so on the fence on the gender, not that im some gender expert anyway, but still.

Thats kinda what i was leaning towards.. by the way, if this does any use, the sebright was going at it crowing this morning, stretched out and high in the nesting box.

Thank you!!

If it is a boy, fingers crossed the sebright chick ends up being a girl!

They don‘t, maybe they just had a mixed one or something like that.

Only if they're mixed or poorly bred

Is Trixie decently bred/pure? If i start breeding sometime, i would want to sell them for being pure or show quality if possible.

Not a personal fan of that color so I'm not sure on quality since I don't mess with them. She looks pure though at a glance
