I was up at the farm today putting the order in for our new chooks and saw these, does anyone have experience of Speckldy Sussex

[joyfull]

the chickens I first wanted was the speckled sussex but only managed to get one this year when Cara needed a home for her one. She is lovely, gentle, decent layer and very pretty

It's a "Speckled Sussex" which is a pure breed Sussex variety, a "Speckledy" is a completely diferent hybrid hen derived from a Maran.   SS are lovely chx as are Sussex generally.

knowing Evie2 she will love the speckled sussex like mine as it is spotty like the sablepoots  (albeit not a lemon colour)

I acquired a young Speckled Sussex a few weeks ago having fallen in love with them when I saw some for sale at a local show. 
She's too young to lay yet but is becoming quite a large girl and seems to have a nice steady nature.  I just love her spotty markings and we just had to call her Dot (Dorothy is her Sunday name).

Gosh what a gorge looking hen ......................

Dear santa

Hope you are well , can i have a speckled Sussex please

Thank you in advance

[evie2]

Yes that's the one HF, silly me I've got a Speckledy just like that too

You know me so well Joyfull I'd gone into one of the coops to look at 4 young poots that had been returned (because of a relationship breakdown) 2hens, 2 cockerels and there were the Speckled Sussex

Think I may just have to go and get those 2 hen poots before they get snaffled by someone

[joyfull]

See Evie2 we are just so alike, Poots rock, if you don't want the other 2 girlies and the sussex then I wouldn't mind them 

[evie2]

I knew if I didn't want them you would what are we like

[joyfull]

suckers for little poots and speckled birds in general

Me too!! The present one is set aside for my OH's flowers and shrubs. She'd go bananas if I let chickens loose in it.

Ever thought of Sablepoots Learner, their feathery little feet don't mess the flowers up

[Hayley'sHens]

Where can I get 1.....or 2? 

[joyfull]

speckled sussex or sablepoots - both of which are lovely
