I have two 12 week old chooks ( One is a sussex and the other i have no idea?) Can anyone tell me wh

[renstar]

My daughter had some chicks hatched at her local kindy. We took two home and have raised them from tiny chicks. They are now about 12 weeks old and i still don't even know what sex they are. I believe the white one (Willow) is a Sussex but not sure about (Edwina) the Black speckled one. Have a look at the photos and let me know your thoughts.

Also at what age can i safely introduce them to the rest of my flock? I have four other Isa Browns and they mix during the day but the young ones are currently sleeping by themselves in their pen in the shed.

Looking forward to some reply's. I hope they are bothe girls

if they get along during the day they should do fine at night

Looks like a light brahma , and a dark brahma , the light one a pullet and dark one looks like a roo, also depends on how feisty your flock is. They shouldn't fight to much though, lol.

Sussex have single combs, I could be mistaken but those look like pea combs?

Do all Brahmas have feathers on their legs and feet? Mine don't have that. Not sure about combs i will have to google that. What about Columbian Wyandots then instead of Sussex??? Could that be a possibility??

That's good to know, wasn't for certain if they had feathers on their legs, lol. Definitely could be CW

Wyandottes do have the pea comb though
