:frowHi just wanting to find out who is planning to attend the Dixie Classic 2025 in Knoxville. December 6 and 7.
Don’t yet know which day we will be there, we live about an hour and half away
This will be our first time and only plan to observe….we will be looking for Speckled Sussex…
We are...
Just wanted to say hey to everyone.
We are finally getting back into chickens after moving back down from up north.
Rather than having an eclectic mix, we have decided to focus our efforts on THE G.O.A.T. chicken….Speckled Sussex…and look to make contact with those Sussex lovers and hopefully...
I’ve posted about Bebee, my Speckled Sussex, before. She’s had recurring swelling in her feet and shanks for a couple of years now. I’ve ruled out bumblefoot and Mycoplasma synoviae (treated 3x with Tylosin, Enrofloxacin, and Doxy-Tyl; no lasting effect. There were never any MS symptoms in the...
Some updated photos of our flock that includes their age and breed.
Thoughts on hen or rooster for our flock? We're pretty sure Bonbon is a rooster... We're not allowed roosters in the city we live in 😭
Thanks in advance!
I need to rehome my young cockeral (free). He's a good boy - healthy, very pretty, not aggressive - but he's just started crowing and it's not going to work in my suburban neighborhood. Speckled Sussex roos are supposed to be great - handsome and docile. Just look at his curious-but-wise eyes...

Happy to drive...
I just received an order from Mt. Healthy for 7 chicks. Like usual they included one extra. All chicks arrived safe and sound, and are very healthy and lively.
I believe I have pinpointed the extra chick. In this picture there is an Australorp at the bottom, and a Speckled Sussex on the right...
Hi everyone! This is just for fun, but I’d love to hear what you think of these lil chicks and how they’ll turn out. Rooster is SL Wyandotte. Hen is Speckled Sussex and maybe a Saphire Gem? I know it was two hen’s eggs, but I can’t for the life of me figure out the second hen.
Anywho, my...
Rehoming two Speckled Sussex chickens age 1yr 2mo, a rooster named Truffles & a hen named Hazel.
Truffles was supposed to be a pullet and I already own another rooster. I had to split my flock to accommodate both boys, but each having only 9 hens isn't enough. I'm choosing to rehome the SS...
I hatched 8 chicks (currently 8-9 weeks old) and At around 5 weeks old one day they began to beat my speckled Sussex rooster (I think he's a boy!). He was beat up and badly injured and dying. I brought him inside and nursed him and I was shocked to see he made it. He had really bad head injuries...
I have a Speckled Sussex hen, named Brynn, that is almost 10 months old. She weighs 5 lbs. 11.5 oz. About two months ago she began to lose feathers on her bum (my other SS also lost her bum feathers). Those feathers haven't grown back yet. I made a post when the problem originally happened and...
Alright, this is "Sauron", and we are hoping she's a hen. I know it's too early too be definitively sexed, but my kids love her and if she ends up being a roo...well, I just want to set expectations now. Sauron is a smidge over 3 weeks old. We got her (and the other ladies) from a local shop...
Hello, all! I am a first time chicken keeper. I had a question about my rooster.
He is a 9 month old, 7 lb. Speckled Sussex named Alek Ross. In the past two days I noticed his feet were very red. His feet have always been redder than the hens, but it wasn't enough for concern. It just struck me...
