Their first week or weeks of crows crack me up, they are trying so hard to be a man!

Ok this is a little off subject but are you from Lawrence KS? I am close to Lawrence

I was wondering if it were Lawrence, Massachusetts. I am not far from Lawrence, MA.

I just had to ask... I love to hear about other chicken lovers near me!

For those of you who are wondering about the crosses

If you breed a Buff roo on light hens, you will get sexlinks, pure Buff females and males similar to the lights but should have a yellowish sheen on them.

If you cross a Light roo on Buff hens, you will get pure Light females and males the same color as in the sexlink cross.

Thanks for that info Rareroo! I'm not going to cross any but it's interesting to know. I don't have any room until all the snow melts and I can start building again!

My red sussex, Red Hen. She's trying to kick the Welsummer off the nest..... Red Hen is my favorite of all my laying hens. She's the most curious and outgoing - always the first out of the coop in the morning and the first to come and say hi when I approach.

Blondy, my Buff Sussex.

She's about the prettiest bird I have.

The Red Sussex are very pretty, but new to me. Like all the pics of them!
