And while I'm at it - SSussex chicks

[mockcherry]

6.5 week old speckled sussex M / F? These seem to be the most gentle tempered birds - very curious though. Do nothing but coo and soft cluck all the time. Always come over to see what I have. My daughter's favorites. There is one (not shown) that is clearly a male - I have tossed him OUT. He's a bruiser. But these two I am not 100% sure about. Oh, 6.5 weeks - Thanks!

Chick 1, I'd say hen. Chick 2, it's hard to tell from the angle of it's head, but I am thinking hen also.

So far they look like pullets....

Yeah try getting anything done in a pen with Sessex,I have had to physicaly move them from being under my feet when i am hammering....
When they are free ranging they will even get in my husbands way when he is using the chain saw...
