Quote: with my SS the males were very slow to feather out thier backs and tails, pullets had tails growing from the first.

Quote: Why would you want to do this? Each color of Sussex was bred for a purpose. When you cross the colors, you cross the purposes. It's not just "A Sussex is a Sussex is a Sussex". The breed has a long history. Along the way, different Sussex folk wanted different colors for specific...

I got my first egg from my chicks today small but browner than I thought. They are Speckled Sussex, 20 weeks old, this one pullet has a much more developed comb than the other 3.

Quote: Very interseting variation will you post pic again when they feather out? Please!

Quote: Is your SS Organic? I'm looking for a SS roo if my 6 turn out to be girls. All my SS chicks are 12 weeks old and I'm trying to sex them. If it turns out that I have all girls, I'll be looking for an organic SS roo. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/uploads/92289_file0095.jpg...

Quote: Thank you, great pics

Quote: Sorry about the first chick, Good luck with the rest.
