    I clipped his spurs. They started up again but it turned out the phoenix ran him away from the flock. He's been put out. I have an extra cage he can stay in. Sad. i may have to give him away.

    Anyone else have a red speckled sussex?

    I have one. She's in with the group I bought. She's a deep ginger with lots of white speckles. There's no pattern, but lots and lots of speckles.
