show quality speckled sussex ??

Thanks all. When I ever have any birds or eggs for sale I'll let everyone know.

i will get some pictures one day this week so we can try our hands at critiquing them. They have not been handled much so are a little flighty so I don't know how good pictures I can get, but I'll do my best. They will come around my feet fine, but don't like to be picked up. I have a camper for them to use for housing and they love to run up under that thing if I reach out to them and it is hard to get them out! LOL.

Here is a picture of one of the young SS roosters.

Here is a young pretty hen.

Check out the beautiful dark mahogany on this little hen. Am I the luckiest guy in the world or what?

Here is the last one I'll put up tonight. Snowbird, I sure wish you lived nearby so you could help me with breeding these birds.

Congrats Orange Ribbon!

Orange Ribbon, those girls look wide all the way to the tails!
That is a very good thing - - - it is indicative of wide tails ( not pinched ones).

Thanks for the comments! Those SS have bodies shaped like little cinderblocks with a plumb chest. Solid little boogers. The mahogany is deer and rich. Some have more speckles than others. The older birds have just molted so they look pretty rough.

Anyway, I don't mean to keep tootin' my horn. I know they are not plumb perfect, and I will put some pictures that can be used to critique some other things about them when I get the chance. Our power was out all day yesterday and the rain made a mess so I have some things to get squared away first. I'm interested in learning all about the good, what needs to be fixed and how to do it.

Those birds are so beautiful......especially that mahogany one. I'd like to add one to my flock one day.
