We now have a flock of about 24 bantams, maybe 7 of which are these Silver Sebrights. We have one Golden Sebright. I fell in love with these beautiful birds a few years ago when I saw a 10-year-old girl’s flock at the Mendocino County Fair. They lay very small eggs, are a bit skittish, but oh those white feathers outlined in black! We get all our chickens from Murray McMurray Hatchery; they come via the U.S. post office overnight.
Here’s a good blog with a lot of practical hands-on tips for raising chickens in urban or suburban areas: https://urban-agrarian.blogspot.com/

Yay,its good to see others keeping bantam breeds.I am amazed with all the new chicken keepers out there these days keeping big standard breeds especially in the urban settings.
I came across your blog about a month ago and am really loving the variety of your posts.Thank-you so much.
Those are beautiful! The contrast of color is impressive. I've always admired how living creatures with white feathers or fur manage to stay so bright and clean.
Does anyone around Spartanburg S.C have a trio for sale

Looking for silver duckwing Batams I’m here in Shamrock, TX
Hi, I’m an animal behaviorist on the Gulf Coast who is looking for 4-6 9 months or older Sebright hens for an Operant Conditioning research project I am working on. I can assure you they will get a wonderful forever home. I am having a really hard time finding adult hens. Raising chicks to adulthood will significantly slow my research down. Any help anyone can give me in locating Sebrights would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I know this post is a decade old but I’m looking for a silver Sebright hen or puller. Strictly for a pet. I had several when my children were young and just love them. I’m 71 now and I think I really need one! Lol
