This flighty chick was 2 weeks when I got her, as a Brown Leghorn. Obviously it’s not a Brown Leghorn and I’m not exactly sure what she is or truly a pullet. I have a Brown Leghorn pullet.
Roughly 12 - 14 weeks old.
Here are some pics
I've yet to come across an active Sussex chicken thread, so I am hoping this will become it.
This is for any Sussex related discussions. Whether that's breeding advice/plans, or you just want to talk about your pets.
I'll post about mine in a bit :)

We have a speckled sussex who has been acting weird for a few weeks. She hasn’t been showing many symptoms, but she has been distancing herself and changing her sleeping spots. Her wings have been a little droopy as well. Today we went down to their pen to find her laying down & the other hens...
Hi all
One of my hens (I am not 100% sure which one) has been for the past 2 weeks atleast, probably longer laying eggs with what I am assuming is calcium deposits attached to the shell of the eggs. They are super tiny round balls some of them rub off but most are super stuck. It almost looks...

I bought 2 speckled sussex sexed pullets and the comb on one has me in doubt as to the sex of this one. I'm bringing them to the experts. What do you all think?
Hatched 3/4 so right about 2 months old.
We are proud new owners of 20 chicks now 4 weeks old. We have four Welsummers in our flock although I have my doubts on whether our Audrey is in fact a Welsummer or something else. She has a speckled head and lighter in color when compared to her sisters. At first I thought she was in fact a...
So I've got a speckled sussex (mahogany or redish brown base with green on tail and wings and some white flecks) and a black copper maran roo.
My hens are barred rock, a couple barred rock mixed with idk what but their father looked barred just darker and threw some black females and dark barred...
Hey everyone. My partner and I have a fairly new 5 acre homestead in New England and have recently added 10 birds, 9 pullets and a cockerel, to our growing self sufficiency. I am already completely smitten with them, and people in real life are tired of hearing about them! lol Figured I'd share...
