Speckled Sussex hen traits
Choose a darker or lighter shade within the typical range for this breed’s egg-color family. This does not switch the egg to a different color family.
Speckling consists of brown pigment deposits. Eggs with little or no brown pigment (white, blue, light blue-green shells) typically lack speckles.
