Sebrights are a true bantam developed in England in the early 1800s by Sir John Sebright, known for laced feathers. Roosters are hen-feathered, and the breed is kept for show and as pets rather than eggs.

Common questions
Are Sebrights good layers?
No. They lay about 50 to 80 small eggs a year.
What health checks should chicks or pullets have?
Ask whether chicks were vaccinated for Marek's disease at hatch and whether the flock is NPIP-certified, which covers pullorum-typhoid and usually avian influenza. Look for clear eyes, clean vents and quiet breathing, and quarantine new birds for 30 days.
Why are Sebrights prone to Marek's?
The breed is known for higher susceptibility, so vaccination and good biosecurity matter more than usual.
