Some of the breeds are Speckled Sussex, True whiting blues, Ameraucanas, and a mystery chick. I also have an Ayam Cemani pullet that I’ve had hopes of becoming a rooster but...

    Update on my newest babies

    Unfortunately, Cinnamon passed away. I had her cremated and am waiting on the ashes. Attached is a picture I drew of her being greeted by my late rabbit at the rainbow bridge.

    Sussex vs Brahma

    What is the difference between the Sussex Breed and the Brahma Breed? They look very similar. Would love to know your experience with either breed and the biggest differences.
