The Sussex thread!

[flowerchild59]

I can't get over how active these coro sussex are. They chirp and talk constantly and are in constant motion. I didn't think I could ever get a pic. Here are a few shots. Sorry how poor they turned out. I will try to take some better pics.

I got these chicks from blue poultry and they are greenfire stock.

Where is this thread? I am going to be attending the big National show in Indianapolis and I'm hoping to learn a bit more about show quality vs hatchery. My birds are not hatchery...but I feel they are a little on the small size for the breed. I also like a lot more white on my birds compared to what I've been recently told is acceptable. I feel that if they're called Speckled sussex...they should be speckled!!!

After seeing your girls I'm not worried Miss Piggy is getting too fat. Having never had chickens, and not been around live adult chickens I don't know how big they should be. She's 15 1/2 weeks.
