I finally hatched a SS x splash bantam chick. It was solid blue with a few white wing feathers. I was hoping to get some speckles on the blue base.Oh well, at least its sweet and a pullet.

That is my rooster when he was a little younger.

Hi,
You'll want to be looking for bantam Speckled Sussex strains coming from Rev. Ashbrook, Gary Overton, The Mongold's , or a strain which is a composite of 2 or more of these strains. All three strains are top show quality bantam Speckled Sussex. In Speckled Sussex, especially, since they are a tri-color variety, you want to start out with quality stock. Especially in Sussex, production qualities are an intregral part of breed type.
For large fowl Speckled Sussex :
see posts #2623 ; #2607 ; #1902 on this thread.

This is my Rooster, Chief. If you look he has been hit hard this year from frostbite, a lot of us here in PA are having the same issue. Most of my Sussex are around or over five years old. Only one is a year old, I was able to hatch her last year. I was very happy about that. Here is Chief and the rest of his girls, plus our ducks and goose. They all were happy to get out some today.
