Chairpersons Report

July 2019

As this Journal goes to print, I along with a lot of other exhibitors have spent glorious weekends in Shepparton showing birds in the All Purpose Exhibition Shed.

First Show was Essendon Poultry Society which had just over 900 birds followed by the Softfeather Show which had just over 1100 birds in total.

Our thanks go to the Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria for allowing the use of the pens and Shepparton Show Society for the Pavilion and facilities.

“Tony’s Corner has been won again by Leigh so there is a new movie question in this edition. I think I’ve made it a little easier, so if you require a chocolate fix, please send your answer to Lorraine before the 30th of August.

Page 4. Some of the Rules for Breeding Sebrights

TYPE Shape makes the breed, colour distinguishes the variety The standard allots 20 points to Type, 10 points for Tail and 5 points for weight that’s a total of 35%.

Stance- a cocky, cobby bird that look like fan tail pigeon with a stance that has the head held back with the chest pushed out that looks like an ‘S’ shape. Probably a recessive trait, I haven’t got any birds that do not do it now, but I once had them. Judges seem to go for compact birds with short backs and the head held back.

Tail- The males should have hen feathers i.e. no sickle feathers in the tail and no hackle feathers (a dominant gene). Sebrights should always be fanning their tail, probably because they are easily excited, males more so than females. There is a dominant gene that makes the birds fan their tails all the time. The tail is held at about 110deg to the back (the standard says held high). Some males will pull their tail closer to a squirrel tail position when with females or when in front of strangers. Lifting the tail from the horizontal is a recessive gene or maybe several genes interacting for the different angles. The angle of the tail that a breeding female affects the males she produces. Wings- Sebrights should have large drooping wings carried low. This is caused by dominant genes, where as tight- ly held wings held up is caused by recessive genes. This effect can be produced from drooping wing parents every now and again when each of the parents carry the uplifting recessive gene. There are four levels of wing carriage ranging from very high, to high, then low and very low. It is possible that two or more genes are interacting. Short legs, and thighs set “well apart” (I think this is a dominant gene) so if only one of a mated pair has short legs they will produce about 50% with short legs that carry the gene for long legs.

The long legs and neck creates a gorky look . The short legs and neck will create a compact bird The broad and prominent breast” required by the Standard is a dominant gene, also the “legs short and well apart”. I think that the narrow body which is associated with hocked legs is a recessive trait.

The narrow body tends to produce hocked legs. the broad body allows the legs to be strait and apart

Page 5. Split wings is where there is a large gap between the primaries and secondary feathers. This is a recessive gene and like any recessive trait it is difficult to breed out.

Full sweep of back - a good flourish of coverts or cushion at the base of the tail is needed to create a sweep up from the back to the tail feathers, this is because it makes the back look shorter with a desirable ‘U’ shape outline. There is a dominant gene that creates this feature. There seems to be three parts of the back that have their own genes they are the shoulders, the middle, and the cushion.

Not having cushion feathers at the base of the This bird has the same length of her back, but tail gives the visual appearance of a long back the cushion at the base of the tail and the fullness, this is helped by the tight neck feathers. of the neck feathers creates the look of a short back.

Wide neck hackle feathers forming a wide skirt at the back along with the head held back to form the ‘S’ shaped front of the bird helps to create a vision of a desirable ‘U’ back line and a shorter back. Flat back, this also helps to visually create a short back, (a dominant gene) so if a curved back exists (a recessive gene) in one of the birds in a pair it can appear in up to 50% of the young. There is another recessive gene that caus- es a raised spine at the fore of the back.

Page 6.

Short back is less than a hand width or 100mm or 4” (a dominant gene) but if you only have long backed birds you will not breed short back birds. This is because a long back is recessive and it is fixed in the progeny if both parents have a long back.

This bird has a back 20mm longer This birds back is shorter than my hands than my hand width of 100mm width and is probably 90mm long

A pair of birds where each have short back can produce a long back in their offspring when the recessive compo- nents of the two parent’s genes come together. By only using short backed birds in the breeding pens over several years the recessive long backs will become a rare thing in the flock. Sometimes it may be necessary to use a long back bird with a short back bird to get some short back birds of both sexes or some desirable feature in to the flock. Short backed birds seem to be more likely to have hocked legs.

The bird on the left has a deep body and is heavy with short legs , the one on the right is lighter with long legs.

Weight - Many Sebrights are too heavy they should be -males 825g and females 510g. It is difficult to produce lighter offspring from heavy females. The heavy body is a recessive gene and a small bird is needed to have small offspring. The small size maybe a reason for lower fertility, hence there is a leaning towards the larger birds to breed from. Considering that there is only 5 points for weight is it any surprise?

Page 7. LACING

Of what’s left select the best for lacing, as this is the most visible feature of Sebrights. The standard allots 25 points to lacing and 15 points for ground colour that’s 40% for the feathers!

Usually the lacing improves with each successive moult! It takes 3 moults to see the true lacing on Sebrights, but a fairly good indication can be seen on the second lot of feathers. This makes it difficult to sort the young birds out for lacing until they are nearly fully developed. However in the mean time birds with other body faults can be eliminated. e g birds with cow hocked legs, long or curved backs, wings held up, comb problems etc. Lacing is autosomal and both parents must have matching lacing genes for the same part of the body to become visible on their progeny. The parts include the breast, the three sections of the back, the thighs, the tail, the wing buts, the wings, the secondary flight feathers, the main flight feathers, the neck, etc. For some reason it is much easier to breed birds with good lacing and combs on birds that have a red comb, but it usually takes a couple of extra years and many more to achieve the same on mulberry comb birds. Good lacing on the breast usually leads to good lacing for the whole bird. Look for even, sharply defined and even lacing around the edge of every feather from feather to feather each almond shaped if it is available. ( A dominant gene.) The feathers on the body, breast and back should be the same size and the almond shape is mandatory. The best way to get medium lacing is to use both male and female with medium width lacing, however a fine laced bird mated with a broad laced bird can produce medium lacing. The broad lacing is recessive.

reproduced from The Sebright Manual by the Sebright club of America 1962

Fine laced birds tend to have longer legs. (a recessive feature), longer backs (recessive feature), the cushion feathers to the tail disappear and with them the sweeping curve of the back. (Ref The Sebright Manual page 12) Avoid crescent tipped feathers that have broad lacing at the tip of the feather and thin lacing on the sides of the feather. Caused by a recessive gene.

The crescent tipped feathers are Frosted feathers with an outer These feathers at the back of the from a recessive gene. edge of the background colour. neck are almond shaped, without colours washed out Controlled by a dominant gene any sign of frost. and the shafts are prominent

Page 8. Eliminate lacing that has a rim of the background colour on the outside of the lacing (on the outer edge of the feather) some call this double lacing or frosting but in truth it is a form of pencilling and is caused by a gene missing. This is a dominant effect and can be eliminated in one generation by not breeding from those birds. The almond shaped feathers “is desired” “but never pointed” The neck feathers on most birds are pointed and pencilled (frosted) To eliminate the ‘V’ shaped ends select one partner in a mating with some of the feathers the right shape and a few generations later they will extend to the whole of the flock of the Sebrights. I think that the almond shape is a dominant gene.

Wing butt without visible lacing Wing butt with good lacing probably by recessive genes probably a dominant gene. Lacing on the wing butt is caused by a dominant gene. Lacing on the thighs is uncommon and is difficult to notice because the thighs are hidden behind the dropping wings, the legs appear black because there is no lacing which is created by a dominant gene. Black legs is a recessive trait.

When the under colour is dark slate the lacing is better, but this, like good lacing, is difficult to achieve. The dark under colour helps to eliminate the lighter feather shafts showing out on gold birds which is probably a recessive trait and difficult to remove. I have breed a bird that does not have this fault from crossing golds with silvers in the second generation. Dark down is somehow associated with the mulberry comb colouring. Use males that have a good green sheen on the lacing. Try to eliminate smuttiness on the body of the feathers particularly the tail and the secondary wing feathers where it is highly visible. A recessive gene.

Narrow feathers on the back which is recessive can be bred out by mating with a bird with broader feathers (dominant gene); to create birds with even feathers all over. It may take a few generations to be successful in remov- ing the narrow feathers from the flock. The feathers on the back need to match those on the breast and wings in width. Crimping of the outer primary feathers is usually on the left hand side and they seem to be slower growing. This is caused by a dominant gene and if ignored can spread throughout a flock. This occurs in other breeds as well. It can easily be eliminated by using at least one of a breeding pair that does not have the fault then only breeding with crimp free birds. Flat ended or chisel feathers are undesirable and are caused by a recessive gene. Some birds have structurally weak feathers that break apart at the lacing, it usually starts at the end of the feathers’ shaft. Birds with this weakness are almost useless for show purposes.

These crimped primaries are on the These flat ended feathers are This is an example of the inside edge (dominant gene) caused by a recessive gene lacing breaking at the end Page 9. The lacing can become unattractive when the feathers shaft takes a nip or notch out of the inner edge of the lacing where the shaft passes through the lacing creating feathers that look pointed. This fault is common in silver laced Wyandottes.

Pointed feathers cover the whole bird The lacing is not even around the This is getting close to the desired lacing probably a recessive gene end of the feather where the shaft “ feathers never pointed” is passing through the lacing.

Pointy feathers are just not wanted but difficult to eliminate them in the neck hackles Lacing on the primary wing feathers is usually incomplete because it is missing on the outer edge. It is possi- ble to obtain. Silver laced Wyandottes have a similar problem but I have only seen one bird with fully laced prima- ries. It seems as though there is a missing gene or a modifying gene in action. In all my years breeding Sebrights I have never had fully laced primary wing feathers on a bird but I have seen photos of birds (about 1939) with flight feathers that are laced. I have birds that have fully laced primary feathers on the first flight feathers they have when young, but the second and later feathers lose the lacing more so on the outer edge. It may be possible to breed this into a line by selecting the young birds that have good lacing and little smutting to use for breeding pens.

These young birds have lacing on both sides of their flight feathers but will moult out to have no smut or lacing. It must be possible to breed birds that have visible lacing on the flight feathers!

Smutty feathers in the tail and flight feathers is a dominant gene and can be eliminated by using one of a pair with clear feathers. If the male has two of the smutty genes then all the progeny will have smutty feathers and it will take another generation to get clear feathers. It is difficult to have laced feathers covering the breast bone. A black headed bird is caused by heavy lacing and narrow feathers, where as white head and ‘bishops’ collars are caused by lack of lacing or frosting that has a edge of background colour on the outer edge of the feathers. What is needed is a “Goldie Locks” job even lacing all over, good luck with it. Translucent feathers are a problem with silver Sebrights and is put down by some judges. The feathers need to be denser to eliminate this but how to breed them alludes me Maybe this is possible from crossing with gold birds or by the selection of birds with marginally denser feathers, mainly males, over a period of time.

Page 15. MALAY BANTAMS

Large Malays were one of the earliest breeds to cause interest at shows and were, as far as is known, the famous “sharkbaqgs” or “Duke of Leeds’ breed” about which Bonington Moubray wrote in the early nineteenth century. Although they have had a much larger following than now, Malay bantams have never been popular enough to ensure a stream of new breeders as, for instance Old English Game. One of the draw-backs has been compara- tively large size but, to keep them to scale, they must be of somewhat massive proportions in all parts of their bodies. A basic need, if they are to retain the character of the large breed, is a brand of ugliness which is peculiar to the Malay. No other breed has that fierce expression, that malignant eye, that readiness to strike with a limb that is long strong and powerful. Cocks should be endowed with strong, cutting spurs and, when dropped from hand, should land squarely on their feet, looking for an adversary.

But, do they? In most cases the answer must be no! Breeding from small numbers, kept by far too few people, and striving for more reach without compensating size of body, has resulted in Malays which are not as cruel and virile as they should be. Some of the females are, indeed, models of docility. Get character right and more than half of a good Malay has been produced. Colour can be any reasonable “game” pattern of plumage with Reds, Whites and Piles most commonly met. Plumage should be very hard and short. Naked throats and parts of thighs and underparts are not usual and quite permissible. Three slight curves are desired in the contour of the good Malay. From the back of the head to the base of the sparse, short hackle is one curve; from shoulders to the root of the tail, makes the second; and the drooping tail makes the third. A flat back as in English Game, is not a requirement. With prominent shoulders, stout thighs, and strong shanks, goes a front of sufficient room for the well being of the internal organs. Care should be taken to select birds which are not unduly pinched at the front. The comb is of a walnut formation and adds to typical expression. Malays still get a few classes to themselves. With little to commend them in utility points, it may be said that the Malay bantam has been almost completely overshadowed by the , but it is so distinct from all other breeds that it is well worth the effort to keep alive.

H. Easom –Smith Poultry Jan 1962

Feather Lacing Lacing is a narrow edging or margin round the edge of the feather, of different shade or entirely different colour from the ground colour of the feather. It is usually confined to the body and breast feathers, although the hackles of several varieties are very nearly laced.

Lacing varies in width, but it is not advisable for it to be too wide, not too narrow, although the latter fault is to be preferred to the former, as course very broad lacing looks ugly. Good lacing should follow the shape of the feather, and be of equal width all around the edge.

The most perfect lacing is to be found on the Sebright bantam, the gold and silver Wyandottes also possess good lacing. The most common colours are silver or gold laced, the silvers having a black edging to a white background, and the golds a black edging to a golden-ochre ground. The black edging should be sharply and clearly cut upon an absolutely white and gold background, it should show no peppering in the white or gold, neither should double lacing show-that is a faint, white edge on the outside of the fluff, it gives the plumage a horseshoe appearance, which is con- sidered a great fault. The colour of lacing is often deeper in the second year, but double lacing also becomes more pronounced.
