My Speckled Sussex are my favorite birds. They are not show quality, but they are good layers of medium eggs for us. The rooster is my bud. He takes care of the flock and even keeps the other roosters in check. One of our Orpinton Rooster loves to go after my son. Well, my Speckled Sussex Roo has many a time nailed that Orp and sent him flying to stop him from chasing my son. He also loves to be fed from my hand.

They are all shameless treat hounds.
Our hens...

We mostly have orps - but although docile, they're a handful to carry. LOL

Here's Chizzy (my son's chicken)
She's been gradually molting (Hasn't laid an egg since August) but still looks pretty. She's getting more white now & definitely believes she's the top hen.
