Looks like a pullet

Looks like it has a small beard. Which would be an incorrect trait for Sussex.

I'm not sure what a beard is? do you mean the feathers between it's wattles? It was sold to me as a Lavender Sussex day old, but I have no way of guaranteeing how pure it would be.

The feathers between the earlobe and the eye that runs under the jaw. Looking closer it does have a beard. So it's not pure Sussex.

Oh i see! I'm not fussed as long as it lays eggs ! Wing sexing for this particular chick says cockrel but I'll give it a few weeks!

Wing sexing only works in specifically bred hybrids. 99% of chickens can not be accurately wing sexed.

It was only used as a guide and more for interest purposes. But on this occasion, the Sussex chicks and orpington chicks have been 100% accurate according to the wing sexing done at 2 day olds.
