So their dad is a Light Sussex x Cuckoo Orpington (where the cuckoo comes from) and mum is my speckled sussex.What are they cross with?
Maybe go for bantam?lack size
That's a good way to word it actually. They're supposed to be very square.and are too rounded.
It might be worth it but I am unsure how well the colours will do, the silver of the lights is quite dominant.I was thinking of breeding them back to light sussex, and see what I get from that.
Yeah, I find it easier when someone explains to me about my chickens. I've had a show steward talk me through both my roosters and Spices.I have looked at the standard, but I find it really hard telling whats wrong with mine compared to it.
That's really interesting to see the colour difference!View attachment 3523747
This guy is not getting darker, has more of an orange color instead of mahogany. I don't think I will be using him for breeding.
This guy, however, is getting darker feathers, and appears to be dropping the feathers with stippling:

There are white feathers all over the run!
I don't think it will be much longer until I see their adult plumage.
