The Red sussex I got from Sandhill had some white tips on them.

In the UK, it appears to be that way. I am sure someone will come along and verify it for you.

Red Sussex Roos are supposed to be Dark red with Black hackles/tail. So the first Roo doesn't look like one. The pullets do, but they have too much black. They look terrible in general...

Thanks guys for your input. I guess Ill keep em and see how they lay but other than that I guess theyre not worth breedin with huh?
