“I ordered a Sussex and two other breeds. The Sussex was the only one that survived the shipping. I named her Penelope Pitstop since she is a real pip. She is a great bird and has bonded very well. She gives me a funny chirp when she sees me and loves to go outside and play in the grass while looking for bugs after only one week old. MPC customer service (Shannon) was awesome about replacing the birds that did not survive. I am very impressed with the service and I had replacements within one week later. Great job MPC!!!!”
“If I could only have one breed of chicken I would have Speckled Sussex hens. They are pretty which is nice but what I really like is that they are nutty and full of personality. I don't know if they are just wired differently than other breeds, but they just seem to stand out with their silly personalities. They are good layers too. They make any chores in the henhouse fun.”
“We ordered two speckled Sussex girls into our mixed batch, and they are doing great! Both healthy, sweet, and absolutely adorable. I can‚Äôt wait for their beautiful feathers to come in, and I look forward to getting to know their cute personalities!”
“She is very very smart. She is the only chicken (I think...) of ours who knows her name (Tutu) and she is also very curious. She found a way to get up and climb our very tall fence and get into the front yard to eat the berries on the tree. In the mornings we have to get up and put her back in the backyard. She also screams a lot. When she's not screaming she sounds like a nice chicken though. I think it's because we have no roosters. I heard when you have a lot of hens and so roosters one of the chickens decides it wants to be one and starts screaming a lot. She is very loud but we love her anyways.”
“Daisy my speckled Sussex pullet is the cheapest but the most loveable of my mixed flock! She makes a cute noise when she sees me and she loves to fly into my lap so I can pet her. She follows me like a little feathered puppy! She looks similar to the photo but she has less spots on her back mostly they are on her underside and chest.”
“If I could only have one breed of chicken I would choose the Speckled Sussex hens. I have alot of different breeds, and I think the Speckled Sussex hens are the friendliest and most curious as well as the goofiest. They are so silly. I try to be pragmatic about my chickens because they are a home business for me, but somehow those silly Speckled Sussex girls always end up pets.
Did I mention they are a very attractive bird as well as a great layer?”
“First of all, I'm so happy with MPC! So helpful and caring... Of our 9 babies last year, my favorites are my Speckled Sussex, Rosanne, and Misty, my Blue/Black/Splash Cochin... Rosanne got her name for being the noisiest and most mouthy when she was a chick... Always had something to say. Now she's quiet, but was the first one to lay and lays every day... Cute smaller pinkish eggs. Love all my beautiful, healthy chickens from MPC... Out of 8 hens, I get 5-7 eggs a day. They actually started laying in the fall, so I must be doing something right :slightly_smiling:”
“My dotty was my second chicken to start laying, I cansee she will be a good momma, none of the other girls ever care to see when I‚Äôm gettin the eggs but as of recent she shows she‚Äôs going broody”
