Speckled Sussex

So...now I'm really confused. I was looking back through my pics of when they were babies. I have a pic of the "speckled sussex". It's not a good pic because I was actually taking a pic of one of the other chicks and it was also in the brooder. I didn't any good ones of this particular chick. But it definately doesn't have the SS eyeliner, but from what else I've read it does have the right markings for a Welsummer pullet. The cockerels aren't supposed to have eyeliner right?

Both would have the eyeliner, and neither would be an autosexing breed. You wouldnt be able to tell the guys from the gals by their appearance.

If you have one in colored without the red light that would be good. Welsummer follows kind of the stereotypical chipmunk look, where the SS is a bit darker and has a distinctively different appearance than the welsummer

I didn't take any out of the brooder for these 2. Too late now lol.

I thought Welsummer was an autosexing breed?

Can we just get updated pictures of the birds in question?

Okay. Not much different than the original pics. Supposed to be speckled sussex pullet but likely welsummer cockerel right? Only 1 chick in question on this thread.

Welsummer cockerel. I'd bet on it.
