Pros: Great layers, massive eggs, lovely crow, friendly chicken and extremely docile

Cons: Can't think of any

They are an excellent bird, quite large but very friendly, recognise voices and follow you round the garden! I'd recommend to anyone wanting chickens, high egg production and gorgeous tasty eggs! big_smile.png

Hi sussexmarans,
I would like to know where you got your light sussex flock..... I am extremely disapointed with mine. They are by far the worst layers I have ever seen. The eggs are 1.4 ounces at 10 months old, they are constantly going broody on me and in 5 months of laying I am guessing I got a total of 60 eggs between 2 pullets. They are also the dumbest chickens I have ever seen and that is saying something. I am really bummed because I love the way they look. These birds were supposed to be "Australian" but look to be only about 5-6 lbs at most. If you have suggestions on where I might get light sussex pullets that lay "massive" eggs and a high rate of production I would be grateful.
I incubated my eggs, and got my flock. I find mine are quite intelligent and respond to my voice if i call them, the one even managed to use the cat flap the other day! where do you live because i could suggest places for you :)
I too would like to know where you can purchase Light Sussex chicks?
Atlanta, Georgia area.
