~lizzy~ Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 i have brought two POL light sussex but now having doubts as to whether one of them is a cockerel, i have had them 3 weeks their combs are very big and bright and they are getting very big, and this morning one was crowing but i know my other chickens went though a stage of sounding like a cockerel, so im trying to discount that. ive had no eggs, and have searched the internet for pictures and to be honest they look like both the hen and cockerels ive seen, does anyone have any pictures of young light sussex cockerels Liz i would put a picture on but it would probably take me a whole day to figure out how to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
