You can request Speckled Sussex through FastPoultry, which matches buyer requests with breeders. Choose from 3 request pages for hatching eggs, day-old chicks, and started pullets, then tell us your quantity, preferred age, and delivery state in the form on this page.

Prices for Speckled Sussex are set by each breeder and change with season, line quality, age, and quantity, so FastPoultry does not publish a fixed price. Submitting a request is free. Matched breeders reply with current pricing, and you should ask whether the quote includes boxing, shipping, and vaccinations before you pay the breeder directly.

A Speckled Sussex hen lays roughly 240 eggs a year, and the eggs are large and light brown. Broodiness is rated medium. Real production depends on strain, hen age, season, and daylight, so ask breeders about the laying record of their parent stock.

The Speckled Sussex can be requested as hatching eggs, day-old chicks, and started pullets. Hatching eggs are the most affordable start, ship USPS Priority, and should be set within 7 to 10 days of lay. Day-old birds ship USPS Express and need a 95 F brooder ready on arrival. Started birds are feathered and closer to laying, so no brooding is needed and pickup is common. Pick the age that matches your brooding setup and how soon you want eggs or breeding stock.

The USDA NPIP state importation table (May 20, 2026) lists VS Form 9-3 as required for shipments into 44 of 50 states, and 31 states list a permit, approval number, or other entry requirement, so check your state's location page before you order. VS Form 9-3 is the NPIP report of sales that the shipping breeder completes, and some states add a permit number, a Pullorum-Typhoid or avian influenza clean-flock rule, or a health certificate. FastPoultry does not ship to Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, or the US Virgin Islands through standard requests.
