Seabright Chicken Character

Seabright Bantams are beautiful and lovely little birds. They are gentle and calm and make good pets and companions. They are very small so would need delicate handling, so although they make good pets perhaps not suited to younger children. They are very inquisitive and friendly and well suited to pottering around the garden with you. They do not mind being handled and cuddled, with regular handling they are easy to tame. Not known for aggressive behaviour they mix well with other chickens and add a pretty element to any back garden ornamental flock.

Seabright Chicken Suitability

As with other delicate bantams the Seabright Chicken is well suited to a smaller area and would be happiest in a back garden set up. They can mix with other bantams and gentle large pure breeds but be careful mixing with more aggressive birds especially hybrid hens. You can see our breed compatibility guide for advice. Seabrights are inquisitive and can fly, so an enclosed run area is needed when they are not out with you in the garden. They can also be a little skittish as with the Polish hens and will fly up when frightened. They will lay up to 80 small cream/white eggs a year and are not overly broody.

Seabright Chicken History

The Seabright Bantam is the oldest native breed documented in the U.K. Early records indicate they date back to the 18th Century. They originated in Britain and are named after Sir John Saunders Seabright, who created the bantam chicken as an ornamental breed through selective breeding.
They are mainly bred for showing and pets as they are not great layers, but also not very broody. Their lovely calm temperament has made them a favourite with back garden chicken keepers.
