Speckled Sussex Help

[Acre4Me]

We bough an all male batch of chicks, but we are wondering if both of the Speckled Sussex are males or if one is a female.

They are 12 weeks old.

All pics are of the same 2 birds - three pics of the unsure gender/ female?

We've never had SS before, so not sure if it is just a late blooming male.

I agree with that. Also, your Columbian Wyandotte is a cockerel.

thx! We bought all males on purpose, but one is an obvious female, and then this one SS we were unsure if it was male or female.

I see no reason to think the SS is female.
Hard to make out saddles. Any clear back photos?

I can identify your birds!


"Yes officer, those are the chickens who stole my popcorn"!

The only back pic - they kept moving away from me.

So, do you think the questionable SS is female?

FM.
Just remember, Roos need love too!

Okay. Can't really check for saddles.

Both are male though.
