    What are these “Light Sussex”?

    Just wanted to update at 11 weeks with new pictures. Unfortunately some of the roosters appear to have different types of combs :hmm mainly peacombs from what I can tell so I’m guessing an Ameraucana or EE got involved. Very disappointing. Compared to one thats purebred..

    What are these “Light Sussex”?

    Oh good I hope so. It’s hard to tell in the pics but that chick’s legs also have a green/slate tint to them too? But maybe it’s the lighting. :idunno

    What are these “Light Sussex”?

    Hi all, looking for some opinions on my chicks once again haha. I received an order of Light Sussex chicks 4 weeks ago and now that they’re feathering in I’m seeing some worrying colourations :/ It’s important to me that these will breed true as they’re replacing my existing purebred flock which...

    Guesses on sex of 6 week olds?

    Ah okay thank you so much I didn't consider the feather colouring but that's good to know. I'd be more than thrilled to have bonus pullets though the boys will be pretty so I can't say I'd mind having a couple as well

    Guesses on sex of 6 week olds?

    That’s very fair I know i’ve been surprised by them before 😂 though with this one I thought the development of red wattles at this age was a sign of a cockerel?

    For sure! If it helps here's a pic of one that I'm certain is male from the same brood.

    Chick with tiny headspot?

    Help with 12 week old OE's

    Hi all, I was looking for some second opinions since it's always been super helpful in the past, this group was hatched on April 26 roughly and all but one are Ameraucana x Barred Rock so theoretically they should be easy to sex but I still have my doubts 😅 their dad was a late bloomer which...

    Sex Linked Mar-Bar Cross

    Any updates on what they look like now? I recently hatched a similar sex link and finding the head dot on the blues is pretty difficult (or hopefully all hens 😅)
