This Fall would b a good time to pick up some started birds when the breeders downsize their flocks for overwintering. Once they pick out their keepers there will be a nice crop of started birds to chose from nationwide. With the Avian flu outbreak, I wouldn't be surprised if there are problems shipping started birds across state lines by then. So find some Speckled Sussex breeders near you . There is a parent Club with a breeder's' directory and several active Speckled Sussex threads here on BYC. This year especially, some of the breeders, including myself, have very late breeding seasons because the birds took time to recover from the bitter winter. If you buy from a breeder, your Speckled Sussex will be much prettier. That color is very difficult to breed correctly and just stunning when it is done right.

I love Dorothy, too! I may quote and repost her pic several more times! (Just kidding) I love her thick neck and that roundness... I just want to scoop her up and give her a hug. She would probably disapprove.
Hi, I just joined and wanted to share a photo of Fawn, my almost 3 1/2 week old Spreckled Sussex.
About like my pens. I think even my neighbor's ducks are tired of all the rain.No more rain, please.
