ummmm dont think this is a coronation sussex!

[Cheepingchick]

I was sold some eggs and I think they may have made a mistake.... Though I am no expert so I am very happy to be mistaken myself

.....

This little one was supposed to be a coronation sussex but was the only one that hatched so I have nothing to compare it with. It is nearly 7 months old now and I think that I have to admit that perhaps it is not going to be what I thought but I am at a loss as to exactly what it actually is....

Also sorry bout the photos- she is the flightiest of all our birds and generally runs the other way- even when we are feeding them

She looks like some sort of Game bird. Sorry I don't know much about those type of birds other than the typical body type.

 

[Cheepingchick]

Yeah thats what I have been thinking- at first I thought she might have been a roo- but obviously not!

odd body shape...definetly NOT sussex anything...possibly Buff Cornish?

 

[stephanie1992]

looks like a mix

 

[hdowden]

i would say game or game mix

 

[Cheepingchick]

Yes, I am beginning to wonder if perhaps one of their game birds got into the wrong pen

I was so set on having a coronation sussex..... not sure what to do now?

Always contact the seller and give them a chance to make things right. Although, after 7 months, I'd personally have a hard time with what to do as the seller. I guess they could send you more eggs, if that was your purchase.

 

[Time-Out]

To me, that looks like a cross with a Sussex, so your theory could be right.

Thanks everyone- I have know in my heart of hearts that she wasnt what she was supposed to be for some time - I suppose I just didnt want to admit it....

I cant give her away - we raised her from egg and while she is more distant than my other girls we still love her and she has a large personality....

While she may not be the breed that we wanted we love her anyway and I am glad that we have her....
