Hi everyone!
Thankyou for your replies, they are a bit of a conundrum arent they haha.
I think we do have red sussex but im not sure wether the breeder had any, i know he had a great deal of varieties around, he is meticulous as was said earlier about his adults so i think they are more likely...
O i didnt know that about speckled sussex. Thankyou.
They came from quite a reliable breeder who keeps everything seperate, there is always a possibility of an accident somewhere but it doesnt seem likely as he had a very organised set up. If there has been an accident, what mix would you think...

These two troublemakers were bought as day old chicks and are known as the fluffies as they were so fat and fluffy as chicks (original i know haha) i was told they were buff sussex. They kind of look like RIR to me but now im not so sure as they both have white on thrm, one more so than the...
Hi everyone, I've always grown up with chickens but unfortunatly haven't had any for about 10 years. My mother and I decided to buy some hatching eggs and try our luck with an incubator. I got old English game bantams and my mother got a variety of Sussex. Long story short, we only had 1 of each...
