speckled

Hello! Not new to chicken raising in general (variety of mutts at former workplace) but finally new to having my own chickens at home! I acquired 2 welsummers, 2 brown leghorns (I'll not know the difference between those four until their earlobes change), and 2 buff orpingtons from a local feed...

Are speckled eggs harder to hatch? I have Orpingtons. The Blue and Splash eggs are smooth and hatch readily. The Black Laced Silver have various levels of speckling and I do not get as good a hatch rate with them. And the more heavily speckled ones (from one hen) develop but never seem to pip...

Hello! and I hope you follow along and enjoy this breeding plan. PLEASE OFFER SUGGESTIONS AND CRITICISM WHERE NEEDED! Don't worry about pulling punches, I'm a grown man, I can take it. To start I am going to say I first saw the Speckled Sussex chicken when I was 14 years old (I am now 42)...

I've been occasionally checking the page for Cackle Hatchery's Speckled Egger for several years now and I've never actually seen them in stock. Does anyone out there actually have these chickens?? I'm starting to believe they're not real! :lol:

Hello! I have 3 extra female-sexed specked Sussex chicks from my latest hatch that haven’t sold yet. $12 each. If anyone lives in California and would like to pick some up, they’re available once this posting goes live first come first served! I will update this posting when they are all gone...

Found a ~3 wk old chick at Tractor Supply today. Speckled wings, pinkish (maybe a tad yellow?) legs, white nails, blue beak. Head with stripe and back with stripes. Please help me ID breed and gender, I have no idea! Also, is this a rooster or a hen? When I got it, the back end was caked...

Hey! So some of my spring chicks finally started laying, two days in a row I have gotten a brown egg that is so speckled it is almost white! The speckles fade when I hold the egg and come back once it is left alone. The brown is quite dark under the speckles but its hard to tell. What is going...

Turkey egg awaiting incubator

Hello friends! So we have 4 Cayuga duckies. We have noticed though, that one of the females has these white feathers throughout her body. She is a young duck, hatched this spring! Any clues?! Is she a Cayuga like we thought, or different? Or maybe just a pretty feathered Cayuga?! Have a blessed...

I have a Rooster that is Columbian as his base with a lot of black mottling and the occasional white tipped feather. He’s 1/4 OEGB and half Sablepoot and most likely is a low expression Mille Fleur (waiting for his first molt to see if more white tips come out). I have another rooster split to...

I have eggs that are a mix of a Lavender Marans rooster and eggs from Lavender, Cuckoo Marans, Welsummer & Barnvelders hens. $25 per dozen. Let me know if you are interested and I will collect and keep them in a cool dry place and rotate twice daily. Thanks! Fertilized eggs for sale in...

Frito the Speckled Sussex

We lost our rooster a while back and our girls have all stoped laying. Need to add some sweeties. Willing to take a rooster (love the boys) looking for young hens and/or pullets. We free range during the day and have two coups and can separate young birds if needed. Speckled Sussex Orpington...

Hello all here in Virginia. I am raising some Speckled Sussex and Austra white rooster. I was wondering what kinda chicks others are raising and how do you enjoy them? I love the Sussex so far. Very adventurous and beautiful markings. The Austra (I think) but anyway he is a good bird and I have...
