Quite interesting. I have a roo from this hatch too. Let me back up a bit. I bought these chicks from a man who said they were pure speckled sussex. 5 of the chicks were light, 1 was dark with faint chipmunk markings. As they grew and it became apparent that they were not pure SS, the man then told me he had a light sussex in with the pair of ss and these eggs probably belong to a mix of the 2 hens. So I though that maybe the dark chick was ss. Now I am no sure. He has way too many speckles to be a ss. I'll, the light chicks changed into these red pullets and the darker chick is a cockerel. He is way too speckly to be a pure. This is them at a couple weeks of age.
