    Speckled Sussex - Pullet or Cockerel?

    Is anyone able to sex my Speckled Sussex who is just over 3 months' old please? I thought cockerel, but surely by now it's Saddle & tail feathers and wattles & comb would be more developed...? But it's not a breed I'm familiar with, so would appreciate any Advice! :) many thanks!

    Chicken Math & Genetics Experiments in Southeast Missouri

    I recently left city life & corporate America after 20+ years and moved to rural southeast Missouri, to restart/rebuild the family farm where my dad grew up. I got my first chickens --4 Dominique hens and a Rooster--from Cackle Hatchery in June 2019. I thought I might expand the flock in 2020...

I ordered 8 pullets and 7 straight run from cackle hatchery and received my chicks on april 7, 2020. Everything has been great...

    I'm going to be getting more chicks! Wish me luck!

    I'm going to be getting five more chicks: an EE, a Green Queen (another type of EE), a Speckled Sussex and 2 Gold-Laced Wyandottes on the 25th of this month. I hope everything goes well, I'm kinda nervous for some reason 😅

    Speckled Sussex? Gender? 7.5 weeks old

    I got these two supposedly Speckled Sussex chicks. However, someone called the species into question due to the lack of speckling in the body. Do they look like Speckled Sussex? Can you tell if they are roos or pullets? Any insight is appreciated! Chick #1: Chick #2:

    Pullet or Cockerel? 13 Week Old Speckled Sussex

    Can anyone give their thoughts on sex of this chicken? See pics. The saddle feathers to me scream roo, but at the same time its comb and wattles are really underdeveloped for 13 weeks. I've got another confirmed roo that has a massive pink comb and big dangly wattles at this age (different breed...

    Can’t figure out what’s wrong with my Speckled Sussex

    I would love some advice for my sweet Jolene. She has seemed perfectly well, then on July 4th she didn’t go up in the coop. She was squawking at what sounded like a scared cry from all of the fireworks. I got her and put her in but she didn’t want to come out the next morning. I separated her...

    Struggling baby chick

    Cinnamon, one of my speckled sussex babies, seemed odd when we brought her home. The other three chicks would be running around, but Cinnamon just flopped over to sleep. At first we just joked about her being lazy, but after a couple days I realized something was wrong with her. I checked and...

    11 week old SS Rooster or Hen?

    I have come to terms with having to give up this little one if it is a rooster, however, sometime he/she makes me think it is not. Your input is much appreciated for a first time chicken owner. Our city will not allow roosters so we are trying to find him a home before he gets too loud. Photos...

    8-week old pullets - Austin, TX

    Hi BYC, I'm in Austin, TX. We're moving unexpectedly, and I am so very sad to say that I have to re-home my mixed flock. The flock has seven 8-week-old pullets, one suspected 8-week-old roo (not sure of breed), and two older birds that are still laying, but coming to an end. I hand-raised all...

    Why aren’t my 2 ½ year old speckled sussex chickens not laying?

Supported them nutritionally with extra protein during the molt. I feed them Purina organic l’arena pellets. They have...
