    Can a bantam silkie rooster rate with a medium sized hen?

    Hi all, Today I picked up a rooster from a lady needing to get rid and I have plans to breed him with some of my girls. I have three in mind - a barred hybrid, a light Sussex and a leghorn. The only issue is the rooster is very small and has been pushed around quite a bit from the bigger hens...

    Sussex Breeders and Owners Discussion Thread

    I've yet to come across an active Sussex chicken thread, so I am hoping this will become it. This is for any Sussex related discussions. Whether that's breeding advice/plans, or you just want to talk about your pets. I'll post about mine in a bit :) @Sussex19

    Cockrell or Pullet?

    Looking for help. Light Sussex bought unsexed. They are 10 weeks old. The one marked A had a near death experience when it was a few weeks old and I'm not sure if that has affected it's size or maturity at all. any help is appreciated. Thankyou.

    My chickens have BLUE feet!

    I need some chicken advise! My almost 2 month old buff orpington x light sussex hens have blueish feet, and They've slowly darkened since being chicks. Does this mean they have some easter egger in them? Or is this common for their breed mix? They are healthy looking feet so I don't think...

    So my questions are this: 1: why Is my cockerel (6 months old) pecking the back of (only) one of my pullet’s head & back? 2: when will he calm down? 3: can I get him cartrated? If so, will it kill him? 4: what can I give to my pullet & cockerel flock as a treat every now & then 5: my ??? X...

    My Hybrid Pullets Aren’t Growing Combs

    Okay so I’m a little bit worried why aren’t my hybrid’s comb’s growing? They are 6 months old and I’m worried about it. Is there a problem? Maybe a disease? It’s probably because of them being crossbred but I’m not sure. (same chickens as my last post, Loona and clover) clover is growing some...

    Breeding Light Sussex

    For those who breed light Sussex, I have a bit of a dilema. The best Rooster and the best Hen: I'll call them Group A came from the same breeder as hatching eggs and both have too many points on their comb, the only flaw and it's killing me. Now I have good specimens in Group B not related, that...

    Hi, I have a Light Sussex which has went broody. This is her first time and she is around 1 year old. I have read broody hen only comes out for food 1-2 times a day. But she comes out 5-6 times a day. She puffs up when she is outside and does go back to sit again but I don’t think those...

    Light Sussex source...

    Hello friends. Do any of you know of a good hatchery for Light Sussex or any of the less common sussex breeds? I am not looking for show quality so I don’t want to pay $50 per SR chick. I found True North had them for a reasonable price but they are in Canada. I need someone in the States...

    6 week old light sussex (plus 2 polish chicks) gender?

    Haven’t had the best luck this past week. We lost 2 of our babies to coccidiosis and thought we were going to lose another from what we thought could have been a respiratory infection but turned out to just be choking or possible impacted crop (may never know which). Went to bed expecting to...
