Here's what my Speckled Sussex looks like at 7 to 8 weeks:

she looks just like my 6 month old welsummer Speedy, except your girl has a bigger comb. Speedy still isn't laying yet, but hopefully soon!

These are 11 week old Welsummer and Speckled Sussex pullets together:

and this is that same Welsummer all grown up:

Both breeds are nice to have - the Welsummer lays very pretty eggs. At least the mistake was the breed and not the sex

Awwwww man now I want me some Well summer chicks, what a beautiful hen.......

Thank you. I am fine with her.

Ghostrider, your speckled sussex is a beauty.

Absolutely a Welsummer. Don't be surprised if she grows spurs or any chicks from her may have 5 toes, all totally NORMAL for the breed and not indicative of any bad breeding behind her. I have a welsummer bantam who is well feisty but she has five toes and spurs, and when I looked up info relating back to the origin of the breed, they ALL had five toes and some had spurs too. So worry not! She's lovely and next year will really shine with rich colour.
