I read the other day on another post that you can sex a welsumer buy the V on the head?? Does anybody know if we can use the same principle for sexing very young Speckled Sussex??? Just Curious. Thanks again...

Wow those chicks are really different, I also can't wait to see what they look like later on!

Yes it is too bad that they have lost alot over the years, I might point out that Uno the 3 yr. old came from Nancy Garry and is really the only bird that I have that actually came from a breeder (SS anyway) . The other girls came from Cackle and the new Roo babies came from Ideal so will see...

Yes she still lays about 4 eggs a week so far this year but has slowed down since last year. Ive only hatched out one of her eggs on an accident but unfortunately Her daughter was fathered by a Salmon Fav. but she is beautiful but she makes her mom look like a pimple compared to her, she is...

Hi Math Ace, Here are some updated pictures of some of my SS girls . I tried to get clearer pics but they just would not co-operate with me! The last picture is not one of the pullet she is my 3 and 1/2 year old I like her build pretty good but she just keeps getting more white all the time...

Thank you, I should post recent pictures of the girls since they have changed alot over the months.

Thanks MathAce, HI, I was just going by what Don (Snowbird) said about my girls, He said that my girls looked good as Breeders but needed help with the combs and that I should find a Large dark Male, (as some of my girls have more white ) with a correct comb. Those were his suggestions to me...

I personally like white and yellow the best, but I'm not that knowlegdable so will be waiting patiently for a response to see who the experts like!

Way to go Cow chick!! Thats wonderful!

Hi, I'm finially going to get some SS Cockeral chicks, ( 5) around the 24 th,and I'm so excited about it! hopefully I will get at least one that will help my girls comb faults. I was wondering if for the boys you start culling at around 20 weeks like the girls or do we start earlier with...

Hi, I haven't been on here in quite awhile and was reading over the recent post and just wanted to agree strongly with Math ace on the SS ability to free range they (at least mine) are very hard to spot when they are up by the trees and in the heavy tall grass (brown or green). They are also...

Quote: I absolutely agree, the SS is the Ultimate Chicken Breed! The have it all, Personality, Smarts (smartest breed I know) Sweet, now we just got to get the outsides looking the best they can look! So we are all working toward making them as close to the SOP as possible. I'm working down to...

Quote: SORRY, I didn't respond quicker... I missed this post some how! Thank you for the post I, too, have learned so much on this thread. I 'll send you updated photos in a few days. The cockerel has discovered how to crow. Speaking of cockerels, With every batch of SS I have...

Quote: I have not had a chance to weigh my girls yet, hope to get that done sometime this week, but they have grown alot! So looking forward to seeing what they've gained.

Quote: She doesnt have any long-looking tail feathers, Yours do look great, I really do like the spangles. Thankyou, I'm pretty proud of them.

Quote: Thankyou!

I agree it could be a little pullet heres mine at 11 weeks. I've never had a SS Roo baby so I can't compare. Mine didn't have wattles showing at that age. but the comb looks pullet-ish. does she have tail feathers yet?

Oh there is also a Sussex thread you might want to post there too! Its also a very nice thread and they have all varieties of sussex.

Thanks from those angles, she does look like she has spangles but hard to tell if she is a female or not.

Do you have a profile picture of her? How old is she?
