    Sussex Breeders and Owners Discussion Thread

    You could keep a couple of those yellow legged birds to use to test hatch with your whited legged birds. If any of the offspring have yellow legs, you will know that your white legged parent is carrying the recessive gene for yellow legs.

    Speckled Sussex - Breeding to the SOP

    In my line of bantam SS, the birds with the white breasts at this age are typically cockerels. Looks like you have quite a few of them. I see that you have them banded. Take notes on what you see at various stages and then compare with what you see when they become adults. You can learn a lot...

    Chicken Breed Focus - Appenzeller Spitzhauben

    Yes. That looks to be a cockerel. Pullets wouldn't have wattles that big at 9 weeks. He is a pretty boy, though.

    Once a bird is exposed to one of several respiratory viruses, they become carriers for life. Stress will cause symptoms of that disease to emerge. The person you got them from may not be aware that the birds were carriers. I almost never buy adult birds for this reason.

    Hi, everyone, We finally fired up the incubator this week to start our spring hatching. It's my family's favorite thing to do. We made the incubator out of a mini frig and put a window in the front. For the next 3 weeks, our kids will have their noses pressed against the glass, waiting for hatch...

    That is very kind of you! However, it is something we want to be able to do ourselves. We don't need any more chicks right now. But by next spring, we will have chickens we want to breed. So, we still have some time to work this out.
