couple more pics, I think this is a hen, the other guy with the darker spots is a rooster

OK. I will skip the barred chickens, basque, etc. I am not crazy about barred chickens and don't have any in my flock, sounds like way too much work to breed it out. May try the buff columbian if Iever find any lol. Here are a couple young, very young chickens hatched from my own barnyard mix...

I am finally making some headway. I got my breeding pen set up-2 SS roosters, the ones with the most white on them out of 4 that hatched last spring, 2 RIR hens, and 4 NH red hens. I had 6 NH hens and I have no idea what happened to the other two. I have about 100 chickens and they are free...

OK, thanks, I get it! I will have to figure out how to work my pens to do that. I have 3 nice coops and pens, but coop 3 is full of bantys. Coop 2 is the one I planned on putting the spotted chicken project in the spring and now just has some of my free rangers, mixed flock. Coop 1 has my free...

Just dropping in and catching up with everyone's progress. I bought speckled sussex eggs and the chicks are about a week old. Also have a couple buff orpingtons and RIR-hatchery stock from feed store. In the fall I should be ready to experiment and can ask advice on what to do. Interesting about...

Wow, they are cute! Well, no reason to reinvent the wheel! BUT I have a friend with some speckeled sussex eggs incubating and my other friend has some sussex mixes, so I guess I will play around and see what happens. My brother lives in Sedona BTW, but he is not into chickens!

I have been following this thread and really love these chickens. I read the "standard" you posted. I am a noobie pretty much as far as chicken raising, only been at it a couple years. I have a variety of breeds, mostly hatchery birds, and some bantams that came from feral birds. I have hatched...
