Aww they are cute! Dotty didn't have the colour she was supposed to have as a chick. She looked like this (the yellow one):

Yeah, they do. Mine hasn't get but I think she will in the future as she acts broody all the time. I used to have another and she went broody and all my friend LS's do too. Good Luck with the eggs!

Well think the good luck is to Mr MKK FARMS, but yep all is well here. Glad everything is good with you. Have a broody with some eggs and a new broody has decided to kick her out and steal her nest so I'm trying to think how to sort them two out because the eggs are due Monday, but I doubt they will hatch because the broody has been useless!

Quote: That's good to know, I was hoping they went broody. Thanks.

My Coronation Sussex Doris went broody but wasn't devoted to it. I think it was more to hang with her buddy Betty who is a Sussex/Langshan cross.



I expect Glenda to go broody soon. She's been a bit moody when it's her turn in the nest box lately.

I can't tell the difference between my Speckled Sussex and my Welsummer, so here are some photos of both! Two days old.
girl #1. This girl decided to wash her face in her coconut water to prepare for the photo shoot.

girl #2. Much bigger, and VERY fluffy. She's the biggest of the 4 chicks.

Okay, I'm pretty sure girl #2 is our Sussex. Her stripes are more blended, and the lighter stripes are more yellow. Girl #1 has black outlines on her dark stripes, and her light stripes are closer to white - I think she's our Welsummer.
