Thank you. I hope to get three more in the fall. I have a 5 x 10 dog run with a coop to keep them in during the day...I want to make sure they have lots of room. All of my Sussex have been very friendly and will sit with me and sing.
We lost one of our three speckled sussex, Hazel, in January. We do not know why she died. She had recently won the "pet contest" at work as the most adorable pet! She was only 3 years old. How long have your speckled sussex lived? I would like to stick with this breed, but her loss is...
I don't know which of my three girls laid the egg, but she was one of the three in the first photo...a Speckled Sussex. I have only had brown eggs until today.
My Speckled Sussex have been laying for 10 months now. The three girls average just under 2 eggs per day here in Arizona. It is pretty predictable...small-medium to large brown eggs. My darkest hen (Hazel) lays the darkest eggs, and the lightest (Sunny) lays the lightest. My big hen, Big...
I have 3 SS...my first chickens. They began laing about a month ago, at just over five months old. Eggs are brown, small-medium. I love my girls...they can' t possibly disappoint![/IMG][/IMG]
Bought these three beauties from http://www.chickensforbackyards.com/. Their hatch date was 10 September, and they now live about 10 miles north of Mexico. We LOVE our girls. They are beautiful!!!
