    5-6 week update

    Was pretty suspicious of this guy when he was only about 2 weeks of age. Posted here before when he was ~3-4 weeks. He’s now 5 1/2 weeks and I don’t think there’s any doubt left that he’s a cockerel! Still wanted to check in and have a few second opinions again now that he’s older (just in...

    What weight are Speckled Sussex at 20 weeks?

    I've read that the recommended age to process SS's is 20 weeks. Approximately how much do roos/hens weigh at that age? Thanks, MCA

    1 Year Old Speckled Sussex Not Laying

    My speckled sussex is a little over a year old and I am almost positive she has never laid an egg. It wasn’t until 2 or 3 months ago that she started turning red but she is nowhere near as bright as my other hens. Recently when outside and I’m by the run she will come to a corner near me and...

    Why does this egg have a "stripe" around it?

    I think my Speckled Sussex layed it. They have been like this recently. Pictures in different lighting.

    Hen jumping on my back. Is this normal?

    I have a Speckled Sussex hen that likes to jump onto (and sometimes sit on) my back. Is this normal and should I keep letter her do it? I think of it as a way to bond.. but sometimes she does it when I don't expect!

    Sunny Woodlands Farm (NH, US)

    We have a small homestead/farm in New Hampshire (US). We have 13 laying hens we got last year and a RIR rooster ("Sam") that sired 35 RIR and RIR/PBR chicks with them this year. Those incubator-born birds are about 3 months old now. We lost four of those early on, and about 7 of the 55 total...

    Just Posting For Memories of My Chickies

    I ordered 4 chicks from MyPetChicken.com and I loved the chicks I received. I bought four-1 day old chicks that I’ve wanted for awhile now: a SLWyandotte, BLRWyandotte, Speckled Sussex, and Barred Rock. Original plan was to sneak them under broody momma hen who’s chicks just hatched recently but...

    Tsc speckled sussex "pullet"...I think not...😣

    I got 4 speckled sussex "pullets" out of the bin at TDC. They are roughly 4 weeks old. Everybody looks great! Then I was gone for 3 days and this little fellow sprouted a comb!😂 Maybe, just maybe, an early developing pullet??? I'm not hopeful..

    5.5 Week Speckled Sussex, Roo?

    The large full tail feathers say hen, but the comb is starting to get pink so that tells me roo. It is also top of the pecking order (actually, the only chick I've seen throw a peck at another). Any thoughts from folks? It was supposedly vent sexed as a hen when hatched.

    New and need help identifying sexes and breeds

    Hi all! I recently purchased seven chicks and its probably still a bit early to confirm sexes and breeds for sure but I'd appreciate any help you could provide on this! I know at least two chicks are not the breed we thought we bought, I now suspect they are Olive Eggers. The others I think...

    Oh I’m so happy! It has been a LONG week! And I made some mistakes along the way but I feel like celebrating! my 4 year old Speckled Sussex went broody this year (she usually does), so I went and purchased 5 Bantam chicks at tractor supply for her. Out of the 5, only one passed away (he was...

    Speckled Sussex appearance differences

    I'm not really worried about this, just thought it was interesting! I have two chicks which hatched from fertile Speckled Sussex eggs that I ordered via ebay and that came in the post (I'm in the UK). The two chicks look quite different- one has bold stripes while the other is more subtle and...

    McMurray Hatchery Initial Review

    Hey friends, I just picked up a box of vibrant seemingly healthy chicks from the post office after an extra day of delay from the post office. McMurray packed them with a large heat pack plus six males for warmth. The only DOA chick was our free surprise chick which was some kind of blueish...

    Four week old EE, Buff Orpington and Speckled Sussex gender?

    I know it's early but was wondering if anyone had any inklings about my little mixed flock. The ones I'm a little dubious about are the White EE with those longer tail feathers and the buff orpington with the comb coming in. Thanks in advance! Our first Easter Egger, she's got some long tail...
