They are adorable when babies, so small and sweet looking. And yes fairly delicate probably because they are so small, although they seemed fairly hardy to me and even as adult birds they are small but fair well in heat and cold.
We have Silver laced Sebrights, two females and a male. They never have gotten very tame although one hen is a bit tamer than the other. The roo however is a mean one.

We had another Sebright roo before we had these three that was not true Sebright, he either was mixed with something or just not well patterned, but he was sooo tame and sweet.

This picture is of the first roo we had, his name was Speckles. You can see how small he is and he is probably a couple of weeks old because you can see his wing feathers sprouting fairly well already.
