    Tsc speckled sussex "pullet"...I think not...😣

    I got 4 speckled sussex "pullets" out of the bin at TDC. They are roughly 4 weeks old. Everybody looks great! Then I was gone for 3 days and this little fellow sprouted a comb!😂 Maybe, just maybe, an early developing pullet??? I'm not hopeful..

    5.5 Week Speckled Sussex, Roo?

    The large full tail feathers say hen, but the comb is starting to get pink so that tells me roo. It is also top of the pecking order (actually, the only chick I've seen throw a peck at another). Any thoughts from folks? It was supposedly vent sexed as a hen when hatched.

    Speckled Sussex appearance differences

    I'm not really worried about this, just thought it was interesting! I have two chicks which hatched from fertile Speckled Sussex eggs that I ordered via ebay and that came in the post (I'm in the UK). The two chicks look quite different- one has bold stripes while the other is more subtle and...

    Hey friends, I just picked up a box of vibrant seemingly healthy chicks from the post office after an extra day of delay from the post office. McMurray packed them with a large heat pack plus six males for warmth. The only DOA chick was our free surprise chick which was some kind of blueish...

    Four week old EE, Buff Orpington and Speckled Sussex gender?

    I know it's early but was wondering if anyone had any inklings about my little mixed flock. The ones I'm a little dubious about are the White EE with those longer tail feathers and the buff orpington with the comb coming in. Thanks in advance! Our first Easter Egger, she's got some long tail...

    Speckled Sussex - roo?

    Hello friends! I have two 6-week old SS and I know it’s early, but if anyone has a screaming answer for me I’m dying to know if my SS “Rosemary” is actually a “Roger.” Her comb is much bigger and more pink than her sister. However, I have read that this breed typically has large red combs in...
