The Sussex thread!

[pepsiokay]

My Sussex has swollen wattles... They're normally floppy but today seem full...
Not painful and no breaks or anything! Any ideas?

   Yes, too soon. It is funny I have two and they look very different and one appears to be very much a pullet and the other it is still hard to tell at 6weeks.

My Light sussex chicks at 6 weeks.

Anyone want to have a guess at the sex of each? Or is it too early to tell still?

Thanks

It's early but I would guess right to left pullet, cockerel, can't-see-maybe-pullet, and pullet.

Thats what I was thinking, although the second from left has a larger but pink comb and developing wattles that the other pink comb does not have yet - will post more photos in a couple of weeks.
Thanks for your opinion

my two babies. They are 15 days old. I'm thinking pox might me a cockerel, what do you think? Look how much slower he is feathering in compared to Dumpling. I got them out of the straight run bin hoping for a rooster so I'm keeping my fingers crossed !

Eeeeeee....this is my new Lil Speckled Sussex!! I named her Biscuit and she's such a bold and brave lil thing!!!!

so cute!​

Maybe, but a bit too early. We are still awaiting results on Olive, but until we her a crow, she is staying olive. We love her or him but can not keep a cockerel. Good luck, and if all else fails maybe we could trade? Just kidding. Have a great day.

hahah I am really hoping for a crow and have a feeling that pox might be, the feathering is just too different. Pox still looks like he did when I picked him up from TSC while Dumpling has a lot more feathering. But only time will tell
