    Speckled Sussex - No longer available.

    Come get these laying hens for $55 each and some free eggs. I have 3 for sale that are 14 months old from "my pet chickens". Friendly gentle consistent laying breed. My young grandchildren can pick them up. I have eggs coming out my eyeballs. Too much to manage. Fun Easter surprise! RVA...

    Crossing a bantam speckled back to a regular speckled?

    Curious on peoples opinions on this. We have a beautiful speckled sussex roo who is not fully matured. We have searched high & low for some girls to pair him with, the only person I've found quoted me $165 for THREE 1 week old chicks, which is just absurd. I've found a breeder that has bantam...

    11 week old speckled Sussex Rooster in need of new home

    Hello! I have an 11 week old speckled sussex rooster in need of rehoming. I do not keep roosters because we do not free range, and I have young kiddos who help in the coop, so I don't feel comfortable keeping one around. I do want to be upfront about the health history of our flock... We had a...

    Identifying a breed - Is my hen a Sussex?

    Hi. End of August, I have traded three of my 3 months old Runner ducks for two pullets : The silver laced Wyandotte was actually a cockerel... so I gave him away, because I have no need for a Wyandotte rooster for now. But whatever...! Fact is, I am not sure what breed my yellow hen is...

    Fleshy growth on left side of chicken above wing area

    My 4 year old Sussex has this weird fleshy growth, I think it’s on the side of her neck or just above her wing area. I noticed it last month but she ran away from me (she’s never taken a liking to humans) and it seemed to disappear so I just thought it was perhaps a bit of meat that fell on her...

    Cloud's Chaotic Chat

    Thought it'd be fun to have a chat thread, I often feel weird posting in other people's chat threads 😅. As the title may suggest I have no intentions to keep this to a particular topic, it'll match my brain :D. I'll likely chat about and post photos of any of my animals, from my chickens to my...

    Small backyard flock - what’s gets along with BR?

    We have a small flock of 4 backyard laying hens. We are looking to add another 2 hens (live in city limits, so we can have 6 hens total, and hopefully on the quieter end, pullet chicks). We have 2 Barred Plymouth Rocks, a Sapphire Gem and a Sapphire Olive Egger. All are pretty great foragers...

    Raising birds for auction. What breeds?

    I have decided that every year I will raise chickens for my county fairs charity poultry auction. This year I am doing buff orpingtons and possibly my BSL rooster we will see if he gets his act together. I want to select the best breeds that are not an outrageous price but are high in demand. I...

    A Craigslist Mystery - Blue Sapphires? Sussex?

    I bought three pullets from a local--a classic Craigslist deal that listed them as pullet hens. The seller said they're two blue sapphire Plymouth rocks and one silver laced sussex. They're around 6 weeks old. When comparing them to photos online, I'm not so sure. What do y'all think? One of the...
