Agree on the crosses, I absolutely love mine, I think they're beautiful but so very hard to sell, especially when some are turken.
I have one speckled sussex, who is just the love of my life. Yes, I said it... I'm in love with a chicken. I think I'm on the right board for that, though. I'd love to have more like her, she's beautiful, funny and full of personality. She lays terribly, though. It took her 10 months to lay her first egg!
