speckled sussex

Hi there, I am located in Northern Indiana. Does anyone know of anyone local sellers within a 60 miles radius of LaPorte, IN with speckled sussex pullet chicks? Even possibly Indianapolis/Lafayette area would work as I have friends there that I could meet up with to pick them up! I have a...

looking for some help and advice for my speckled Sussex hen. I noticed she was picking some of her feathers under her butt and was missing a good amount. I checked her for mites and treated her using diamtonatiois earth just incase it was mites. But I saw nothing and the rest of her looked a...

Speckled Sussex from cackle hatchery. Her name is Spice

He is one of the most loving, protective of his hens...rooster I have ever seen

Hey everyone, I am desperately needing to find great homes for some roosters!! I have one Speckled Sussex (13 weeks), two Salmon Faverolles (17-18 weeks), and one Splash Ameraucana (17-18 weeks). I love them all and wish I could keep them, but unfortunately in my town I’m not allowed to have...

We bought Speckled Sussex hatching eggs earlier this year. We got a good hatch rate and ended up with 4 roos and 3 hens. I noticed that 2 out of the 3 hens (not roos) might have eye site issues. But one looks perfectly fine and by my knowledge the roos as well. I can't know for sure if they were...

My partner and I recently moved to Missouri in 2020 and finally just started our chicken family this year in 2022. As of right now, we have our first 12 chickens: 2 cream legbars, 4 easter eggers, 3 speckled sussex, and 3 splash-laced red wyandottes. We turned (are still turning) an extra, old...

At the moment, we belive that we have 2 pure-bred light Sussex chooks (a rooster & a hen) but the other 2 concern us. We are fairly sure that They are a Sussex (not sure what specific type) cross with an Easter egger. Any thoughts? they are both hens (top is Clover and bottom is Loona) we...

I read online that crossing a brown egger with blue egger with create a olive egger and Speckled Sussex lay light brown eggs so I was wondering if crossing them with a blue egger would create the expected outcome by what I've read. If anyone on here has done it pictures of the cross would be...

I am in 4H and will be showing my speckled Sussex in a few days. She does wonderfully when I handle her, except for when I get around to showing her head. Usually, when I show a chicken's head, I bring the chicken around me so that they're just above my shoulder, that way I can efficiently show...

I bought these 3 chicks from a guy who hatched his own eggs and also buys eggs from hatchery and hatched them. They are all supposed to be speckled Sussex, and the guy spent a good 15 minutes staring into his brooder trying to figure out which chicks were speckled Sussex. He did have a list of...

Was pretty suspicious of this guy when he was only about 2 weeks of age. Posted here before when he was ~3-4 weeks. He’s now 5 1/2 weeks and I don’t think there’s any doubt left that he’s a cockerel! Still wanted to check in and have a few second opinions again now that he’s older (just in...

Hello! I have 3 extra female-sexed specked Sussex chicks from my latest hatch that haven’t sold yet. $12 each. If anyone lives in California and would like to pick some up, they’re available once this posting goes live first come first served! I will update this posting when they are all gone...

I've read that the recommended age to process SS's is 20 weeks. Approximately how much do roos/hens weigh at that age? Thanks, MCA

My speckled sussex is a little over a year old and I am almost positive she has never laid an egg. It wasn’t until 2 or 3 months ago that she started turning red but she is nowhere near as bright as my other hens. Recently when outside and I’m by the run she will come to a corner near me and...

Baby chicks 🐤 83

I think my Speckled Sussex layed it. They have been like this recently. Pictures in different lighting.

I have a Speckled Sussex hen that likes to jump onto (and sometimes sit on) my back. Is this normal and should I keep letter her do it? I think of it as a way to bond.. but sometimes she does it when I don't expect!
