Speckled Sussex - NO??

[amyw1966]

I purchased this one and told it was a speckled sussex. She looked like it when she was a baby, but now looks like a brown leghorn or an americauna. Anybody have an idea? She ?? and the one I questioned as a speckled sussex I have seen getting their neck feathers up and challenging each other. Thank you.

I have an EE that looks a lot like her.

 

[amyw1966]

Thats what I was thinking. I have a friend who got 2 that look just like her too. At least it is a hen.

It has the wrong comb to be an Easter Egger, well technically it doesn't as there is no standard for EEs so they can have any comb under the sun, but typically they have pea combs.

I'd say that's a Brown Leghorn or a Patridge Rock. Are it's ear lobes white or red?

ETA: It might even be a Welsummer... what color egg did it hatch from?

 

[amyw1966]

Not sure what color egg she hatched from, but she looks exactly like a Welsummer when I looked one up.

Thank you.

I think it's a Welsummer - check her earlobes. If they are red, she's a Welsummer. SS and WEL chicks do look a lot alike (both little chipmunks), so the seller probably made an honest mistake.

That little hen is the spitting image of our old welsummer pullet, Martha. God rest her li'l chicken soul.

Welsummer. Wel and SS chicks look a lot alike.

Definitely a Welsummer! She'll lay nice large dark brown speckled eggs! Very pretty!

Not a SS.
