    A week ago, I bought my first chickens I've had since I was 10 years old (I just turned 40). I grew up on a farm in West Texas and had cows, horses, lambs, pigs, chickens, and dogs. But now I'm stuck in the city and I decided to bring a little agriculture to my city kids (12 yr old daughter and...

    Hi, I'm in the SF East Bay Area and have 5 almost 10 week old chicks. I got 7 chicks when they were 2 to 3 days old. 3 Buff Orpingtons, 2 Speckled Sussex and 2 Rhode Island Reds. 1 BO and 1 SS turned out to be roosters. My town doesn't allow roosters, so I re-homed them yesterday. It was...

    Went chick crazy at TSC - need help sexing! BR, SS, FCM(?)

    I heard TSC had chicks in and I'd been looking for Barred Rocks. They didn't have them of course, so I got 2 Speckled Sussex and 2 French Marans. The next day stopped at a different TSC - of course they had Barred Rocks. So I got 4 more. All straight run. I'm hoping some of you can help me...

    Egg Size

    I was reading to see what the egg size is considered to be by the weight of the egg. My Australorps lay eggs over 62 grams and I read that those are considered extra large eggs. I read that Speckled Sussex lay large eggs. Well, I have a Speckled Sussex who has been laying for almost a month...

    WTB: SPECKLED SUSSEX PRETTY PLEASE

    We are currently looking for speckled Sussex hens. If you just want to rehome them (free) and you have hens and roosters and want them all to stick together I can make room for the roos. I am really just looking for speckled hens. My family and I own a farm in Virginia (200 acres) so if you have...

    Chicken checkout

    Happy Monday my fellow chicken lovers! Now that our flock is officially old enough I had a couple chickens in question. (All just around 8 weeks old.) The first is our Bantam. To be honest she’s the only one in our flock I’m not sure as to her breed. The only thing I recall is she is indeed a...

    Will Speckled Sussex go broody?

    Hi there. I have one speckled sussex hen I bought awhile back, and recently bought 18 chicks. What are the chances of the hens going broody? Or do they at all? I am new to the breed. Thanks!

    Hello everyone! I have real trouble sexing my Speckled Sussex 6 week old (and one 5 week old) chicks. These are my first and as I understand this breed might not be so easy to sexed properly? I would gladly use some of your input - hen or roo? And hopefully, later, when they're grown, I will...

    Bloated, slow moving chicken with dirty butt

    We noticed a Saturday AM that a three yr old Speckled Sussex looks like a balloon and was moving very slowly. A few hours later she was lying down when the other 9 were not. I did as much research as I could and decided to give her a bath because her butt was dirty and maybe it was vent...

    Make or female speckled Sussex?!

    I don’t know how some women go 9 months without knowing the gender of their babies, and I’ve waiting 6 long weeks and still have no idea. I ordered 6 speckled Sussex from Cackle Hatchery and one in paticular is more developed than the rest. Hoping she isn’t a rooster (we can’t have them where I...

    Speckled Sussex vs Jubilee Orpington

    UPDATE: Never mind this post, lol.... I don't know how to delete it. I know it isn't a Jubilee because it was not a yellow chick. I have been looking online, trying to find anything that would show me, side by side, the differences between a Speckled Sussex and a Jubilee Orpington. I have what...
