Hi

At the moment i've 7 Sebright chickens hatched 5-5-2004 and getting more
feathers each day. Unlike their parents some got more black on their back
and breast, instead of a clear zoom around each feather. Are they still to
young to predict their full colour outcome?

 I know sebrights are not the easiest breed to breed but i wondered while
aging will their colours develop/ establish?

greetings xininxx
