Speckled Sussex

[rogermagno]

Can anyone help identify this pullet? I am thinking that the speckled sussex chick that I bought isn’t actually a speckled sussex.

Where did you purchase from? Definitely not a Sussex however the coloring is very interesting. How old is it? I'm thinking it maybe a cockerel, thinking that's hackle feathering starting although I can't make out the saddle nor see a tail, and comb's pretty pale. Guessing it's about 8 - 10wks?

Not a Sussex, for sure.

comb type? Cant see it very well but may be a. Pea comb?

if you can take a pic of it standing from the side so we can see side feathering better, might help!

Thanks for the feedback. Got my chicks at Agway in CT and they are around 6-7wks old.

Around 7 weeks old purchased at Agway in CT. I am going to post a few more pics so you can see the tail. Thanks for the feedback.

O wow! I look forward to seeing what she will look like full grown. Thanks for the feedback.

At 7wks, it's very possible a pullet ... The hackle feathering got me, looks narrow to me and not rounded, although not much tail feathering. @JedJackson ... I'd like your opinion please
