The Sussex were a surprise in a batch of chicks I bought and I really like them. I hope I have one of each. The Black Copper Marans I hatched, got 4 and they all look alike to me. The biggest one is a crowing rooster. Thanks
In the 4th.picture, with buff turned away from camera, it does look like that could be a pullet. Can't see any comb on her. Could we see her from the front?
I do have buffs with combs, without combs, and with medium combs, so I know that's a mixed flock. I have more Marans incubating so maybe a girl or two there! I'm going to have to get a female Sussex now, they're so pretty!
