Speckled Sussex Started Pullets
Sussex chickens are a heavy breed developed by the English more than a century ago. This dual-purpose breed lays 4-6 light brown eggs per week and is an excellent forager, making it a great free-range option. The Speckled Sussex are a calm, beautiful breed and great bird to show. They also tend to go broody and make excellent mothers. This variety is called speckled because of the white spangles on the ends of its otherwise dark mahogany-colored feathers.
IMPORTANT ORDERING INFORMATION: Meyer Hatchery offers started chickens in limited quantities for shipping or for pick up in Polk, Ohio. Don’t forget to bring a box or other container for transportation from the hatchery to their new home. Click here to read more about our retail store including hours and directions.
We can also ship started birds directly to your local post office. Meyer Hatchery will pack and ship the birds in an approved USPS shipping container, include a gel supplement to keep your birds hydrated in transit, and ship them express for overnight delivery to most locations.
Started chickens are approximately 16-20 weeks of age. They are fully vaccinated, beak trimmed, floor raised, and treated for intestinal worms.
Due to conditions beyond our control; such as feed, environment, or lighting, we are unable to guarantee the production rate and/or start of production of these birds.
