Show me your cockerels!!!!

[2ndTink]

Thank you!

The Speckled Sussex bantams are hard to find. I located a breeder within driving distance, but the chicks, while pretty, aren't close to standard. I love them anyway.

There's a show quality breeder in Florida with whom I have corresponded, and who's been a big help in choosing the best cockerels to keep (I had 7!), and understanding what my breeding goal, long-term, could be. I'd like to help improve the breed.

If I get some good looking chicks next year I am going to try to breed the best to the best.

THIS is a prize-winner, NOT MINE...

Yeah, the Bantam version of the breed is hard to find! That’s awesome! I like when I can find birds that are in driving distance. Mine were not bred to the Standard either.

That’s super nice! I am hoping to find somebody like that near me, as I am hoping to start breeding them to the standard and improving the breed too!

Ooooo, you’ll have to keep me updated on that! I’m super excited to see what they will look like. I hope it works out!


Wow…… HE’S GORGEOUS!! That definitely looks like a prize winner to me!
You wish it was yours (that’s okay, I wish it was mine too).

Here are a few of my Speckled Sussex cockerels. Sorry, they are not the best pictures I’ve taken . Just ignore some of the messes in the background of the last 2

Yours look better than mine, nice dark saddles.

Oh my goodness…….. SHE IS SO CUTE!
They are one of the most beautiful breeds ever (at least in my book).
