if it is molting put them on nutrena feather fixer. it can be fed to both sexes with no problem as long as they're over 16 weeks .my birds just finished their molt on feather fixer and as usual their feathers are sublime. this is a great feed you can feed it all the time as long as the birds are...

Here's what I found on Buff Sussex: all except the first cite are in the Sussex Breeder's Directory at the Club website. Have to check around maybe in archive.org for the PrairieOasis website. prairieoasispoultry prairieoasispoultry.webstarts.com ----------------------- Waltz's Ark Delta, CO...

Hi, Sussex is eWh (Wheaten) based allele. Brahma is eb( Brown) based allele. An "allele" is the basic canvas upon which all colors and modifiers are "painted". Difference is in the breeding methods. In eWh, the underfluff is white to the skin. The bird does not need any color balancing to get...

wow chickengrass, just stunning. Karen

Hi, Go to Tractor Supply or your feed store and buy a small bottle of Bovidr Labs Poultry Nutri-Drench. Give the chicks a dose. use this any time a chick looks needy. It doesn't need to be digested, mainlines directly into the bloodstream, measurable in the bloodstream in 10 minutes all natural...

Hi, Well it's been a long winter. Lost one hen. Have one cock, one cockerel, 3 pullets and 2 hens. Picking up 3 more mature adults this month. Looking forward to hatching later next month. It is a late season but think I will see some nice chicks. These ill be pure Silver wheaten. No Blue or...

Hi, Check the hackle feathers. The female hackle feathers will be rounded at the end. The male hackle feathers will be narrower and pointed at the ends. Also if these chicks are wildtype based ( e+ allele) ...if they are e+ based the eye stripe will be darker on the female. Chick B in the 2nd...

I agree with Diva. Plus the one has way too much black in the white parts. Pure Light Sussex have white legs. Best, Karen

In order for the sex-linked to work you need a colored roo over a Light Sussex hen. If you reverse the sexes, it's not sex-linked. Best, Karen

Hi, FYI, It's pronounced Marans. Use the plural even if it is one bird. Like "Deer'. Enjoy your Marans !! Best, Karen

Acres4Me, Put your birds that are 16 weeks and older on Nutrena Feather Fixer. It's especially for molting birds. Brings in stunning new feathers and sometime the girls will lay thru the molt. I got wonderful results with it on my flock of Light Sussex when another BYCer recommended it to me...

----- Featherhills hatchery in Idaho? Tony Albrittion

emmyn, I would set these 2 birds aside and contact Jackie at Skytop in Florida. She is a APA Master Breeder of Bantam Speckled Sussex. As far as I know the entire SQ gene pool of bantam Speckled Sussex is related. If these birds are off-colored, it seems to me it would be a good idea to set them...

Hi, On T, W, Th, here in western PA it is getting sub zero. I have my Sussex in 2 small fresh air coops but too small for that kind of cold. I think I will take them inside the garage. I have several large cardboard boxes from Lowes. I have the white bale of pine shavings from Tractor Supply...
