    lebanon,ct free speckled sussex cockrels

    i have 2 speckled sussex cockrels that are about 4 months old they have some really nice colors but my older hens keep picking on them, so i have had to keep them seperate from the flock. i would like to see them go to a good home, they were raised as chicks together so they get along fine.
