A tale of 2 chicken butts. These Speckled Sussexes are 8 weeks old and their back ends look, to me, significantly different enough to wonder if one might be a rooster.
What do you think?
I got them from Feeds 'n Needs in Mendon.
Haven't built coop yet, not sure what we'll do but getting a ton of inspiration from the coop section here on BYC. Do you have pics of your coop?
I will definitely be posting chick pics! People here will appreciate much more than my FB people!
Millville!
No flock yet. We've just ordered the chicks, 2 each of speckled sussex, buff orpington, salmon faverolle, and buff brahma, which should be in mid-April.
Can't wait!
Thanks! Maybe I can find the nice lady in the MA thread. Wish I had gotten her name.
We are getting speckled sussex, buff orpington, salmon faverolle, and buff brahma; 2 each. We wanted easygoing birds who could handle a New England winter and the info pages the feed store had on them seemed...
Hi,
I'm brand-new to chicken-keeping (chickening? fowl-fostering? hen-husbandry?) and am reading up all I can before the little fluff balls get here in mid-April. A nice lady at the feed store directed me to this site so here I am!
Thanks,
Aimee
