Isnt she pretty? I have no idea what she is though! I have 4 like her. They came in my brown egg layer assortment.
What am I????
Here she is as baby!
Another pretty girl!
I'd guess a Speckled Sussex. The chick color can vary a lot. What is the comb like?

Let see did this one work?
it could be a speckled sussex, but it isn't quite right, I don't think. She's definitely pretty!
Im with you BYH, They have far too much white on their tummies! their coloration is close to a Brown Sussex , But I havent seen a sussex with this much white! Here is a pic from 2 weeks ago!
I suspect the white will decrease, if they're Sussex, but then, the speckled Sussex coloration is pretty variable. Did you decide what they might be?
Zeppy , Im going to call them Speckled Sussex , until some one tells me different!!! Hows that??!!!!!!! I ordered the brown egg layer assortmnt from Meyer and I got the Ohio assortment!!! LOL!!!!!!
to cute LOLO...
sorry all not very happy right now lost a silkie female...
Tracey
Awwwww, tracey Im so sorry!
Eu,
My male silkie killed one of my females..
He tryed to have sex with her and he broke her neck...
How is every thing???
I will not be here until after 2:30pm Because I'm going to the zoo
with NB Feild trip... YAH fun time....
Tracie, that is so sad. He must be a really rough lover to have broken the hens neck.
leaflady, My son cryed and so I told him I will hatch some silkie eggs to make it up to him.. Rooster was a hard lover and I still have him but he is in a serapet cage and not the coop and I let
him run in the dat time...
Tracey
Hey E and Tracey,
I just wanted to pop in for a minute and say "hello" and wish all of you a terrific weekend! E, thanks SO much for tracking me down and dmailing to check in......you are a sweetheart! All is well on the farm front. Just ridiculously busy rebuilding things that the storms have torn up. I hope to finish up the new coop this weekend, and then things should slow down a little. (I hope!) Tracey, I am SO sorry to hear what happened to your silkie hen. Darn 'ole mean lovin' ROO! My word, he must be a heck of a lover! WOW! That is a great idea to let your son hatch a few eggs. It is a terrific learning process as well as FUN! Keep me posted on the eggs, k? You guys can always dmail me or email me at bkstarnes@earthlink.net, anytime. I do try to check my email every other day - - - I do my best, anyway. :-) Take care, spoil those chicks and I'll talk to you all very soon!
Belinda :)
p.s. Here is a view of my road during the last storm (Tuesday). We have had SO much rain that only a couple of inches makes things flooded again.
Awww Belinda, we miss you hon! So sorry about all the storms! I hope you and your farm recovers soon! WE NEED you here! Keep up when you can and we will all let you know what is going on here!
Keep strong and love a chicken today!!!! Lol!!!!!!
Belinda, and Eu,
I hope all is well and hope you had a great mothers day..
Belinda, sorry to hear about the flooding hope very one is all right
and safe... When it rains here is do a dance and sing rain rain go away come back some other day.. I try to teach my son that very time it rains and he ends up teaching me a song about the storms and rain LOLOLO....
Tracey
Tracey that is so sweet, Teach him to say "Rain rain go away , Head straight down Georgia way!" LOL!!!!
Eu,
NB told me that he hopes for you to get rain your way.. NB is so funny the way he does the dance you would fall a roll and laugh
its that funny. He has finely lost the first baby tooth yesterday...
How is your Parents doing???? How are the chicks and you???
Tracey
Hi tracey! All is well here! Mom and dad are doing much better! I now have my Chicks pretty secure and I am hoping safe from all the predators that seem to be roving here . Its just funny that they only come around when Im not home! Ive been here a week now and havent noticed one thing out of the ordinary.......except for a couple of raindrops... YaaaaaaaaaY!!!!!
Eu,
See the rain is coming your way.. KB and NB said hi and NB had to go to school. The last day of school here is May 24 and its a half day....KB and I do our lawn mowing in the day time and thats fun to do 5 days a week.. But NB can't go and I stay home and
do house work and as soon as he starts summer school.. I go back to work... But all is well here and still having fun with the
girls and Mr.Barburatiy Rooster.. I haven't found him a home yet...I'm going to take him to a farmers auction maybe if I can find one close by...
