Speckled Sussex

MrschickenDad. Those are a great pictorial progression. Thanks. I love SS but think I read they go broody easily. Is that so? I'm too new @ this to hatch yet, and breaking my EE's broody was too hard on all of us.

I have no Roo either.

I also read they go broody frequently and for me that was a selling point - I'd love to have a broody and so far neither of my BO's (also said to go broody regularly) have been interested.

HEchicken I see you have a black star... Are those the same as BSL. If so how's the feet? my new BSL chicks have weird feet. Is it a breed thing or problem.... Opps this counts as hijacking Sorry... won't do it again

I don't know about broodiness in SS, they haven't started to lay yet. Too bad you're so far away, I have an extra cockerel!

My cochins go broody at the drop of a hat, so less than that isn't broody to me!

I got 2 SS chicks today that are just a couple days old. I had never even heard of this breed, and thus hadn't planned on getting any, but they were the most charming chicks at the feed store. The coloring really is beautiful and they already do seem to have that curious personality people talk about.

i have 2 and am so egg-cited to see them grow up. as babies they do have lovely "chipmunk" coloring. i'm looking forward to these freckled beauties!
