speckled sussex or welsummer chick?

[sequin2000]

We brought six chicks home last week, and unfortunately lost one a couple of days in. The one we lost was either a Welsummer or a Speckled Sussex, and since this is my first time raising either breed, we have no idea which breed we have left! It wouldn't be a big deal except we want to get another chick this weekend to replace the one we lost. Here's a couple pics. Her name is NAT-5 (named by my 2.5 year old!!) and is about a week old.






She has one (just one!) feather that's all white that you can see the edge of at the bottom of her wing in the second pic. Your expertise is greatly appreciated!!

That might be the Speckled Sussex! It's young to tell, and I don't have experience with either breed, but I read that the typical Speckled Sussex has pink legs. This, however, might not be true for your individual chick, so I can only offer Speckled Sussex as a guess.

Good luck

Thanks for taking a guess! I know it's a tough call.

What did it end up being?

It's a Speckled Sussex - a Welsummer would have yellow legs.
