I ordered 1 speckled Sussex and 1 Welsummer. They sent me an extra so now I have 3 chicks that look a like when I didnā€™t even know which one was which in the first place lolā€¦ Iā€™ve done research but from what I can see they are giving off vibes of either and Iā€™m at a loss. Did a little photoshoot with each they posed well wondering if anyone can help me out šŸ˜Š

**Side note: they are all going on a week old***

It's going to be very difficult to tell until later with these. Leg color is different between these breeds-- white for Sussex, yellow for Welsumers. But from the photos I cannot see any difference in the colors of their legs. Maybe it will be easier for you since you're there in person.

Otherwise you will have to wait until the feather out. Sussex will have white mixed in their coloring, Welsumers will not.

To me all their legs look the same color maybe some have a more yellowish tinge but it is very slight šŸ˜‚ I also read that Sussexā€™s eyeliner points up but from what I see their all point down.

My Welsummer had pink legs as a chick too. I thought it was strange, but some kind soul on this forum told me that itā€™s normal and not to worry. Her legs are indeed plenty yellow now at nearly 6 weeks old, but didnā€™t start to turn noticeably yellow until the 3rd week. By then you should be able to distinguish between them better, I imagine.

(This is the best leg shot I have of her at this age, lol. Poor dear is being used as a springboard by one of the other chicks who wanted to launch herself at my cellphone šŸ¤£ )
