Hi! I am looking for recommendations to a hatchery for the heaviest mottled/speckled whitest speckled Sussex. I know they get more mottled with molts, but I’ve seen some that are heavily white from year one. Thank you!
Thank you for all that info! My BLRW flock has 11. That includes 3 roosters. They all came together and are a tight pack. They are accepting of new comers though because I've since then introduced 2 other adult BLRW hens. They took a day and practically shunned them but that was it. Now they're...
