Date sort Score sort

Sure, i know she's not a sussex - as i said, i bred her from a commercial dual purpose and a mutt roo! I was merely pointing out that the similarities, thats all.

And I was pointing out a feature that disqualifies her from being Sussex. Sussex have white skin, and it's a dominant trait. Your girl actually looks more like a Columbian Rock.
 
Well, thank you all very much. More or less verified what I already knew. :-( I hope they all prove to be good layers, because they're costing me $5.60/month each to feed fermented soy-free organic, put me double over the number of birds I'm allowed to have, and are not the breeds I planned to build my small flock with. At six-months, I'll have a feed investment of $28.50 and I paid $3.50 for each chick (3-4 weeks old; farmer could not give an exact date).

Live and learn! I try very hard to buy local, but that's not always best.

Thanks again for this - and for the last six years of lurking and learning. :)
