I am still pretty new to this chicken thing, and have never had any light sussex. People always say they are so sweet- what are yours crossed with, do you know?

I hatched out seven chicks and gave four to my aunt and one of hers is completely white with the faintest brown flecs where the black should be. I emailed the farm I got them from asking what this chicken could be a cross of and they wrote back that the only other chickens they have on their property are barnveldas. they didn't say much. this is her email.

Hi,
Good going with the hatch. Maybe Barnevelder chicken. That is the
other breed of chicken being kept.
Regards
(I won't put her name here I don't think she would like that

Hi Beth, the Light Sussex really are sweet birds. My Roo has never looked at me in an aggressive way when I go into the coop with him and his ladies.

This is the only one I could find on the computer the others are still on my camera.

So, Emu's smile for the camera?????

You are going into fall and winter- HA!!! All I can say is thank heaven I am OUT of it and into spring! I find that interesting that the cross might be with a barnie, but shouldn't you have gotten a darker bird? I don't know squat about chicken genetics however, so maybe not. . . . .

Rwoman, I will file that info away for next year, when I allow myself another breed.
