Cat tails Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Silver grey isn’t s recognised Sussex colour according to this website: https://www.ecopeanut.com/speckled-sussex/ so most likely a cross breed. Are you sure it isn’t a bluebell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin757 Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 I’m not sure i am using the correct terminology but it’s grey and looks just like a sussex I will try to take photos in the morning and hope that helps what’s a bluebell???

Daphne Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 You may have what is called a silver sussex, that is a bird which is dark grey in its body colour, with lacing around the neck in black and white. However, they are quite unusual; not easily found. I was under the impression all sussex have white legs but a quick scan online shows it is hard to tell with the silvers, some legs do seem to be greyish, however, I think I am right in thinking they should be white (I used to keep sussex, but not silvers). If you were really interested you could contact the Sussex Breed Club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
