Welsummer or Sussex?

[lilrox]

Hi all, I'm new to BYC and it has been so helpful to read all your posts! I have two baby chicks that I can't tell if they are Welsummers or Sussex can you help? They are not very old yet.

From what I hear you can tell when they start getting chest feathers because the sussex will have white ^^

Sussex have white legs, Welsummers have yellow.

Sussex have white legs, Welsummers have yellow.

I agree, this is the easiest way to determine if the chick is either breed.
