Chicken - is this really a Sussex?

[Three Musketeers]

Just wanted to share a little update picture of our chicken, Arlette, who survived Sour Crop. It has been a few weeks, and the picture was taken yesterday (after she had eaten).

Anyhow I was wondering (after 5 years lol) is this truly a Sussex? The place we initially got her from said she was a Sussex, but I am now wondering (as she kind of looks like a Plymouth). Any input would be appreciated.

Definitely NOT a sussex. And I agree with you, she looks like a Plymouth rock

Thank you a lot for your response! I just looked up the characteristics of the Plymouth and they do indeed line up very well. Great to know

The people you got her off might have had Sussex and gotten them mixed up?? Otherwise not sure why they told you sussex

Can’t tell if her legs are pink or just faded?

I agree! Definitely a BR (barred Plymouth Rock). She’s so beautiful!!!

They look yellow to me, from the picture

I’d say faded at 5 yrs old. Also the barring looks more like a BR rather than CM.

May I ask, how you successfully treated the sour crop? I know everyone has their own methods and I’m curious as to what you did....

Sour crop? What was your method of treatment. My 2 year old light Sussex girl has sour crop and the treatment I’m using is slowly working but I wanted to know what you used.
