“One seemed a little more fragile than the others, but with your advice, she’s doing well.
Was very thankful to get them the day after they hatched instead of what USPS indicated.”
“The speckled sussex is one of the chicks that made it threw delivery, saddly 2 out of 8 of the chicks were to weak to survive,but little speckles is very sweet and doing great!!!!!”
“I originally ordered 2 Colombian Wyandottes but they were not available so mypetchicken.com substituted 2 speckled Sussex and I am so happy with these little gals! Healthy, growing, funny little chicks!”
“This breed is something else entirely. Friendly, goofy, and curious, almost to a fault. They do love their freedom. As teenagers they are into everything. They will fly over a 4 ft. fence in order to explore, so I have found wing clipping of BOTH wings is a must. Faithful layers even in the cold. I have 6 hens and one rooster of this particular breed and they have been an absolute delight. Rooster is mild mannered and behaves himself with people. Never mean, which has been a problem with other roosters we have owned. I highly recommend them.”
“We named ours Screech because she was quite the vocal little thing as a chick and a pullet. As soon as we named her she got quieter!
Screech is one of the friendliest hens we have. She likes to roughhouse and will definitely give you a piece of her mind. She comes up to us and lets us pet and pick her up. She'll hop onto our laps if we're sitting outside. She's a fun little bird! I have no clue which egg she lays, so I don't know how consistent she is, but she's not broody.
I would definitely buy this breed again!”
