Speckled Sussex ... Wellsummer.

[Goingsolo 24]

I've received these two hens and would like to know if they are possibly offspring or breeds of Speckled Sussex and Wellsummer.

The spotted one is a speckled sussex, I don't know much about welsummers though.

Thank you for your rapid reply, much appreciated. I'm not sure about welsummer either but she looks the most like them.

I would guess crossbred offspring. The spotted bird is mostly black with white mottling whereas speckled Sussex are brown with white and black speckles. The supposed Welsummer has blueish legs, but the breed description calls for yellow skin and legs. She is also a bit off in color. Here are a couple of pictures of the breeds in question.
