    I Need Pics Of Speckle Sussex

    This is my first year with chickens and a while back I accidently put 2 wellsummers with my 5 speckled sussex. I figured out that the speckled sussex have white on their wing (I think its the primary feathers) You have to spread the wing apart to see it and they also have a more white cheast...

    Post your beautiful mutts here!

    Oh I love them all! This is my first breeding experience... It was supposed to be a Salmon Faverolles but I apparently got the eggs mixed up with something else so I think it is a Speckled Sussex/Salmon fav cross.

    Faverolles Thread

    Ok guys I am starting to learn more (thanks Cloverleaf!) I looked over my two pullets and 1 has 7 points on her little comb and the other has 5. Are the girls supposed to have 5 like the boys? Now other question, should I breed the one with 7 or just get rid of her? The one with 7 is darker...
