We have 10 - 8 week old SS. What are the different ways to sex these chicks? I have noticed some of their combs are redder, but any other traits?

Thanks!

Annie

I have speckled sussex eggs for sale if anyone is looking for eggs. My flock is not show quality but a couple of my hens are real beauties and you would have something to work with in getting towards nice speckled sussex type and feathering. My rooster does not have any white in his tail but his breast isn lacking any mahogony outsde of a fleck or two. Email me if you are interested in getting some fertile hatching eggs.
