So sorry to hear about your speckled sussexs. I had 2 of those. They are the tamest and sweetest birds around that I know, but they are very protective of their space. My introduction didn't go well after about 5 attempts. I started loooking for a new home for my 4 adults. I finally found a lady who had five hens, and a critter had gotten to 4 of them througha hole in their fortress. They fixed that hole, but only had one hen and she was dubbed lonely red. When the four girls arrived to her home, lonely red was thrilled and the other four mingled around like it was nothing and have been doing great. Odd how it works for some flocks but not for others. I miss them, but I am also happy to have helped this lady out and replace her flock. Hope your speckled sussex makes it..
