Oh how interesting! He has saddles, hackles, and sickles! Hes beautiful. No clue on how thats formed but definitely not a normal golden Sebright. I guess just a mix of some sort!
That’s kind of what I’m thinking, that he may be mixed with something else. Thank you!
He's beautiful but I doubt he's mixed with anything. Its hard to get a good Sebright. Especially getting the henny feathering on the roosters.That’s kind of what I’m thinking, that he may be mixed with something else. Thank you!
Oh ok! I’m not familiar with them. Thought he was a she and then he started crowing
Isn't it just a recessive mutation? Which would mean that if they have it, their offspring will all have it when bred to another bird with the gene
Any sebright that has hackles or saddles has been mixed somewhere in its breeding

Yes some I think. It depends on the other bird too. I bred a rooster with sickle feathers with a beautiful hen and got some pretty nice chicks. A few had faulty lacing but most of them turned out pretty good. Of course I just breed pet quality at the moment. But I'm working towards show quality.
