Ooooh ... the rare Red Sussex. I have wanted that breed in the past. If they were easy to get from a regular hatchery, I probably would still get a hen just to see how she would do. I wonder what their Speckled Sussex look like ... you know, how much white on the wings.
Good luck at...
That's good news. Yay! I was reading your post the other day and feeling a little sorry for you. All's well that ends well. What breeds did you order? (unless it's private)
