What month do golden seabright bantam start and end laying eggs go broody and how will i know the egg quality or if they are fertile to help my chickens lay more?
Sebrights wont always go broody, but most of the ones I've had have. They'll start laying between 6 - 9 months, but likely won't begin to brood until they're over a year old and getting the whole "hen" thing down to an art. :) Do you mean by "quality" like the show quality-ness? If you want to know if your birds are show quality, your best bet would be to join a 4-H club, and also the Sebright association for your state or region. Do some research at shows, see what is winning. Helping your chickens lay more would be feeding them a good layer food, oyster shell and making sure they get plenty of sunlight or artificial light.
