Hi.
End of August, I have traded three of my 3 months old Runner ducks for two pullets :
The silver laced Wyandotte was actually a cockerel... so I gave him away, because I have no need for a Wyandotte rooster for now.
But whatever...!
Fact is, I am not sure what breed my yellow hen is!! And I'm curious... And I have preferences...
She is named Cannelle.
She is "light buff" coloured, and is medium/normal sized.
She is not laying any egg yet, but I think she will soon : she looks adult enough...
Picture from today :
...What do you think...?
She totally looks like a Sussex to me.
I think she is one, but I have only had LIGHT Sussex ever; and I don't know... she is weirdly coloured, no? No light, no buff, but a mix...?
The ones who gave her to me don't know what she is!
She just comes from eggs they had incubated at the request of their daughter...
In my opinion, she really IS a Sussex.
I hope she is, because Sussex are really good layers, and have great personalities... but the colour of this one is so surprising...?
I have never seen a Sussex coloured like that...!!
She also has this "eagle like stare" all the Sussex have, you know...?
And the crest is similar...
(But just : are her feet not too... yellowish, for a Sussex...? And her bill...?)
So... what do you think?
Is she a Sussex?
Actually, I only choose her for her yellow colour - for variety in my flock... but since the Wyandotte I took with her was actually a rooster, I need another good layer for the winter.
I would be so lucky to have chosen a Sussex... (Beautiful and good layer...?!)
...I love Sussex chickens. They are a so great breed...!!
(I had a light Sussex rooster not so long ago...
My father named him Rambo.
He was the best rooster in the whole world - big and beautiful, and good singer -, and he was such a dog... seriously smarter than my (real) dog!
...Sussex are such a lovely breed...!!!)
(These are my most beautiful pictures of my hen. Sorry for the bad quality!!
...If somebody own Sussex chickens, I would like to see pictures and read about them...?
Thank you!)
