    Difference between a white Delaware and a white Speckled Sussex?

    Difference between a white Delaware and a white Speckled Sussex?

    How does one tell the difference between a white Delaware and a white Speckled Sussex? They look the same to me. I have Delaware. I was looking online and came across a white speckled sussex. When I first saw the pic, I thought it was a Delaware until I read it was a speckled sussex.

    How many inches of feeder per bird?

    I have a feeder on the order of a peck o matic. My birds seem very hungry since I put it in. Some seem to be usning it and some don't. Should I have more then one or will they eventually work their feeding schedules out? I have a mixture of different aged birds. I am not sure what to do.
