I set a few dozens eggs three weeks ago.

These were the first two to hatch. I thought the lighter one was Light Sussex. The second one was darker, so I figured I was on the right track. But, now that they've dried off and fluffed, I can see it is unlikely either is a Light Sussex.

I've looked at RIR chicks on FeatherSite and can see the resemblance in both of these.

Tahirs Right(again) ,they are likely to be from the laying pen so will be Commercial Xs , so will be ideal for your egg supply later on , The Rooster is a pure RIR so You'll get a few dark ones ,He's not as good as Andy but he's still good. Ian

Thanks Pam.

I'm asking only so I can learn to tell the difference. It's not that I have a preference for or against Light Sussex. :-D

I can Charles.

I believe the one closest to the pipped egg on the right hand side is a light sussex. There are 2 very dark ones at the top, then a light red one, then the goldie cream one. I believe that one is a light sussex. I am sure enought to bet on it. Then the little one two to the left of that one just in front of your temp control thingie. It is also a light golden colour.

When these two dry out they will be a lovely yellow colour and they are your light sussex. The black feathers don't happen for a couple of weeks. :-D :-D :-D

Three cheers should also go to the father of the boys and girls who produced the eggs. :-D

I'm thinking of getting them all out, then photographing them one by one and putting that on my website. I would separate them out and only show one of each type (type being a chick with identical colour/leg feathering/eye colour/whatever).

It might make identification easier for me in future.
