Speckled Sussex chics, chick to full grown coloring♥️

[Emmylem11]

I have two speckled Sussex chicks. One is significantly lighter than the other. Does anyone know if this determines their coloring as they get older? Or indicate sex? They’re only like 2 1/2- 3 weeks old. I’m just curious if anyone is familiar with this breed and knows anything about coloring. Thank you.

Can you take some more pictures of the darker one? I'm not sure that one is a speckled sussex.

Is it me or does the one in the first pic look like a mille fleur d'uccle or something similar? It has such a uniform pattern with the bars of color.

Not a D'uccle. It doesn't have feathered legs or muffs.

Something of similar coloring though? It was just an example for the color thing.

The first looks a little like a biefelder.

That could definitely be possible.
@Emmylem11, where did you get these chicks?
