I'm thinking of ordering a batch of Speckled Sussex this fall. Considering ordering from Ideal Poultry, who were excellent last time I ordered, but I never bought Speckled Sussex from them.
Anyone have photos of Speckled Sussex from Ideal?
Also considering Cackle . . . and I know there are others out there. The ones sold at feed stores here are from a hatchery in New Mexico called Privett, and those are just so-so. I am looking for not show quality, but really big bodied, lighter colored Sussex, ones that would have too much white for a regular show quality Speckled Sussex. Lots of big white speckles!!! So I'd prefer to buy from a hatchery outside the state, but don't know which one to go with unless I see the grown chickens from each?
Please post photos if you have any and let us know where you got them! I think this could be a helpful thread for anyone looking for Speckled Sussex from a hatchery.
Thanks!
