In the 2010 APA SOP there is a reprint of a classic article on Speckled Sussex.Really a lovely hen-- and to put her next to the ideal portrait, is WOW!! When you say size-- what weights are the birds now, and do you dress them for eating? IF so what are the dress weights?
I wonder if you might have an opinion--
I have not culled my roosters yet because I am stuck on one "problem" THe males allhave a larger bar thean the females on the breast area. Looks like white flecks on black. It this a typical rooster coloring, or should they have a smaller black bar and plenty of red showing?
In it the author repeats Clem Watson's statement that the black bar should be 1/4 inch wide.
Best,
