    Speckled Sussex or Not?

    Oh wow, that would be difficult to tell them apart. But thanks for the photos. I actually haven't seen my friends chickens for a bit, since I'm in lockdown so cannot go over there to take a look or get pics. But from what my friend has said they look exactly alike, and are in fact both double...

    Speckled Sussex or Not?

    She has actually gotten less speckles the last I looked at her, and I think she has Barnevelder in her, but not sure if it's a cross, or she is simply poor quality of Barnevelder. Hopefully not a cockerel though. But I'm thinking to get more pictures when she is a bit older. Maybe also a...

    Speckled Sussex or Not?

    Haha, it's all good. I have found myself doing that on occasion. You sometimes forget how much you are open to the world until someone actually brings it up.

    Speckled Sussex or Not?

    We got our chicks from a Hatchery down in Victoria... Australia. A lot of chicken breeds are uncommon here. It took me 4 months to find myself a pair of modern game bantams, and someone who bought welsummers off us said they couldn't find them anywhere for weeks, and that's one our most common...

    Speckled Sussex or Not?

    I don't have a better picture of her comb currently, I am waiting on my friend to send one. But it looks like a straight comb, nothing really out of the ordinary unless I missed something. She is also the largest of the four of them. I don't think she is a Dark Cornish, you would have to go to...

    Speckled Sussex or Not?

    Lovely chicken Matejka! Thanks for the pics. I don't think she is a Wyandotte, at least not pure. She doesn't have the rose comb. But does have that lacing. And thanks Folly, I'll check them out. I am kinda excited to see how she turns out, not sure if my friend will be happy but she is...

    Speckled Sussex or Not?

    Thank you both. I had a feeling that was the case, unfortunately I'm gonna have to break that in for my friend. She wants a multiflock but as she is looking so much like her other chicken, the Barnevelder. Is she possibly the same breed? Or if anyone has any suggestions on what she is that...

    Speckled Sussex or Not?

    Hey all! My friend has gotten a couple of chicks a couple months ago. A Welsummer, Ancona, Barnevelder and a Speckled Sussex. They are progressing nicely but one of them isn't looking exactly like the breed we thought. The Speckled Sussex, Lucia. The first picture is her at a few week old...

    Unusual Hip, Crooked Tail.

    Yes, I did read up a little. I thought her wry tail if that's it, was causing her unusual hips, the tail curved left with the right hip being the raised hip. But defects in the spine was something I thought of, I just find it strange. I am considering taking her to the vet as I have no clue, but...

    Unusual Hip, Crooked Tail.

    Hello, So I have a hen that I have really noticed in the past month have quite an unusual Hip bone and crooked tail. She was bought from a breeder with three other chicks as day olds. They were the first batch we hand raised and while the other three have no issues, the Wyandotte seems to have...

    New Chicken Owner Introduction

    Hey all! I'm Kiah and a new chicken owner. I have had chickens when I was a little girl, but that's very faint memories, I have only started getting into chickens this year due to my older sister buying them. Now we have a flock of nine chickens that own the backyard, three babies about 4...
