    Hi all- worried my sexed speckled Sussex might actually be a cockrel. What do y'all think? It's comb isn't particularly big and not red yet, but the hackle and tail feathers have me concerned. It also holds itself and walks more straight up than my other pullets and hens. Am I just being...

    ISO Speckled Sussex pullets

    I am located in Southern NH and am looking to add two speckled sussex chickens to my flock of 6. I really don't want day old chicks, but would like pullets or even year old chickens. Does anyone have any that they'd like to re-home or sell? Thanks in advance - Kim

    Help! Rooster needs a home!

    I have a 7 month old Speckled Sussex rooster that has begun crowing quite a bit, which means I have to rehome him. I haven't the slightest clue on how to do this or where to take him.

    So, this year we are new to chickens. So far we have ended up with 19 pullets, 1 cockerel and 3 white silkies that we aren't sure are all hens (but, we can hope!). We originally intended to not keep any roos because of my husbands wariness of mean roosters. However, our Maisy girl.. that...

    Speckled Sussex Rooster Colorado

    Approximately 3 months old. Very mild mannered and I'd love to see him go to a good home. Trading for a pullets would be ideal but I'd be happy just having somewhere for him to go.
