Hen or Roosters

[Lesliemcbee]

Hello everyone! I'm brand new to this site and to chickens. I just purchased 4 SS and I love them! However, I'm only getting 1 egg a day. Can anyone tell me if I've gotten 1 hen and the rest are roosters?

Welcome to BYC! So glad you decided to join!

All are pretty pullets. They're probably slightly stressed after the move, which could explain why you're getting fewer eggs.

Thank you! I just love these chickens, they are really friendly and my daughter can't stop holding them lol

You're welcome! Speckled Sussex are one of the most notoriously friendly breeds out there! It's so easy to love them. Enjoy your girls!

If you don't hear crowing at that age, they're probably all hens. They all look like pullets.
