10 Week Old Cockerel - Speckled Sussex or Jubilee Orpington?

[cluckingheck]

I got this guy out of the bin at Meyer Hatchery, so I’m not sure on the breed. I do know they carry both breeds and whatever that was in the bin was what was leftover from filling orders.

Looks like a sussex.

This guy is just throwing me off because I have a jubilee orpington pullet and a speckled sussex pullet. He’s smaller than both ( not bantam small, though ) and his tail is…well, not much of a tail while my SS has a full tail. I’ve never had either breed before, so I don’t know how the males & females differ in how they feather in.

Can it be Old english game? I have an OEGB that I thought was SS but everyone here says OEGB. Not sure why but they say it every time I posted them. Lol
I could be totally off too!!! Just a thought of a possibility

IDK.
Looks more like a sussex and sussex are a lot more common so if I had to guess that would be my guess.

Bob and Anti-Bob

Your bird is Spangled OEGB.
The OP’s is a Speckled Sussex.

Agreed. The orps are huge and feather in slowly.

It's Bob and Anti-Bob again! The Bobs are definitely OEGB.

I agree that OP likely has a SS.
