speckled susex

Hello everyone I am new to having chickens and I have 9 Speckled Sussex that are 3 weeks old

Hello, I just recently placed my order for my first flock of chickens and figured it would be a great time to join! I have ordered 5 Sapphire Gem, 5 Starlight Green Eggers, and 5 Speckled Sussex so 15 in total that will be here by the end of February! I know 15 is a lot for a first timer...

Hi everyone! This is Wiley. I’m not sure if she/he is a hen or a rooster. Wiley is about 17 weeks old and was supposed to be a hen, but my husband thinks we have a rooster. It wouldn’t be a problem is she or he is, but I’m just curious since we have 6 Light Brahmas where one turned out to...

Hi new to this page. Its a very informative place. I have 18 chickens, 4 are new. I love them.

Cockerel? Pullet?

Hi! I am looking for recommendations to a hatchery for the heaviest mottled/speckled whitest speckled Sussex. I know they get more mottled with molts, but I’ve seen some that are heavily white from year one. Thank you!

Hello, chicken friends! I'm researching a couple of breeds to potentially add to our flock. We currently have 8 black Australorps who, so far, have done great in both heat and cold. We are in Eastern Tennessee, so it gets below freezing on winter nights and gets into the high 90s F (32+ C)...

I went to collect eggs and found two eggs that were speckled. I currently do not have any adults that would normally be laying speckled eggs yet I have two girls that are 12-13 weeks old. One I’m not sure exactly what she is and the other is an easter egger but I know it’s highly unlikely that...

Hello everyone Hoping I can get some help with sexes. And breed of one because even the breeder couldn’t tell me. I’ve been told they’re 3 weeks old. We’re all very in love with them. I tried to get some good pics they’re currently under some light. 1. Voldemort unsure of sex or breed...

I got three chicks to add to my flock and got two from an assorted rare breed brooder so I have an idea what they might be but still have no clue which one they exactly are. Does anyone have any idea from the list? I was able to figure out a little bit on my own through process of elimination...

Hello, I’m MJ and I picked up my first 3 chicks back in late March. I started with 2 speckled Sussex pullets and 1 buff Orpington pullet. My buff was a sweet little thing but while waiting on being able to move to our new home with a yard (was delayed by almost 2 months :/) they went to my...

Frito Speckled Sussex

This is mostly just to vent, but if anyone has any practical advice or has had similar experiences, I'm happy to hear from you! Last spring our neighbors added 12 chicks (9 RIRs and 3 speckleds) and 3 turkeys to their small flock of ducks. They are a lovely flock and i've enjoyed my task of...

Ok my speckled Sussex has decided to molt. Problem is it’s less than 30 decrees F outside and there’s snow on the ground! I’m afraid she will get too cold! Is there anything I can do to help her? She’s a very skittish chicken so the least stress the better.
