I was really pulling for the recovery of the Speckled Sussex you nursed back from the brink, mentioned a while back in your posts :)Robbynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01860870861321231048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6627749570719712047.post-87364449169110954042008-02-03T04:44:00.000-08:002008-02-03T04:44:00.000-08:00We have Buff Orpington, Australorps, Americauna, a...We have Buff Orpington, Australorps, Americauna, and Speckled Sussex and love them all! They are all well behaved and don't mind human attention (which is partly because they were handled so much as chicks). They are good layers, too. The Buff and Australorps lay brown eggs (and the Buff's eggs are really large). the Sussex lays almost pinkish eggs, and of course, the Americaunas are blue. Oddly enough, our Americaunas seem to be our best layers.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10921564620204358209noreply@blogger.com
