Poultry breeds photos: The Sebright

The Sebright is one of the oldest British breeds, being created by the baronet, Sir John Sebright well over 150 years ago. There are two varieties, the Golds and the Silvers, both very charming birds to look at, and quite unique in build and colour. They are not particularly robust, and can be difficult to reproduce. The males are 'hen feathered', having none of the long sickle feathers belonging to males of other breeds. Strutting and jaunty, when presented on top form they have a good chance of top honours.
