Funny you should say that Mrs. Fluffy Puffy is very good and she is the one who told me my chick had the wrong colour feet for an EE. It was from a blue egg though and were 100% on that as it was helped to hatch.
You would not believe the problems I had getting the darn thing to stay still for a photo shoot. I do hope this was worth it. - I am not sure it looked exactly like your Sussex chicks mine had more of an Egyption kind of eye thing going on I think!
Anyhow here goes and if possible do you know if its a roo or Pullet? It doesn;t act like the other Roos jury is out here but most say roo? If so we can;t keep it.
So I am hoping Pullet.
Hope this comes out ok and that what the chicks are can be sorted out. I didn;t know alot of chicks looked like that - it is so hard to know what they are at an early stage. I think my chick looked more like the first post No 2 than yours to be honest now I have looked real close at them both your Sussex look a bit darker and fatter! Also I think the eye is not as Egyption shaped! Lol. Blue was a lot lighter in colour.
Oesdog - many thanks to you and Mrs. Fluffy puffy!

The chicks' plumage is coming in darker and she doesn't seem to have the lighter flecks that I've seen on Specked Sussex chickens. The red chicks are definitely RIR's. I'm a little confused with the black chicks. They seem kind of small to be Black Austalorps, but their markings seem to fit. They are smaller than the other chicks. I didn't think that MY Pet Chicken had Australorp bantams for sale. I will post new photo's tomorrow! I would love to get some input.
