Jubilee Orpington - Speckled Sussex -Heavy Graphics

What is funny is that I found this link as I was looking at the "Jubilee Projects some breeders had begun" lately and I thought to myself.... it seems it would be a easy accomplishement if the sussex was used in the crossings... I typed orpington and sussex to create jubilee into my search bar and this feed came up.... Interesting, I should like to read the material just to read it... as I am not a breeder just an admirerer of chickens.... love orpingtons especially.

I am fairly new to breeding. I have owned chickens for 2 years and since I started it has been a vast world of knowledge and continually I want to know more. I purchased an incubator back in the fall( sportsman's cabinet modal ) used of course. I have since learned all I could about incubating and hatching. I have hatched out hundreds and sold them this past spring around local. I have never hatched out for color, only always hatched out standard breeds. One of those breeds has been however the Buff Orpington, or yellow buff as some folks around like to call them. I recently purchased a Blue Orpington pair, and the lady gave me an extra roo. That same night while doing some reading on the Blue Orpington, I ran across the Jubilee Orpington. I instantly was thinking this was a chicken I gotta have. LOL. Since then I have been reading anything I can find on them, which led me to this post. I thought I read somewhere how you could use the blue orpington mixed with speckled sussix, and then now seen the chart saying the buff orpington mixed with speckled sussix? wandered if you could do either or how this would exactly work? Also does it matter which is which as far as the hen and rooster go? And what does the fx stand for on the breeding chart mentioned earlier in the post? I know this is a lot of questions, and I feel like a newbie all over again. I gotta know tho, and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all. Also I started a thread earlier in the breeds forum, but maybe my questions will get answered here instead.

Hi,
Type makes the breed and color makes the variety. The breed type is quite different between the Orpington and the Sussex. In fact, the Sussex Standard is quite specific on that point. William White Broomhead was a highly renowned poultryman, breeder, judge and went on to become President of the British Poultry Club.
He wrote greater part of the Light Sussex Standard. He edited Volume 2, Part 4 of the 1901 edition of The Poultry club standards.
Here is a sketch about him done by renowned poultry-man William E. Rice.

Sketches of British Judges
No. 1—Mr. William White Broomhead
Written by WM. E. RICE

In 1921, the Poultry Club decided it would be a good idea to put out a series of brochures on different popular breeds. Returning soldiers were being encouraged to breed poultry by US and UK governments. Judge Broomheads genius in writing was to take a complicated subject and make it simple for the everyday person. To that end, he authored the 1st essay in the series on the Light Sussex. It's a brilliant discussion of Sussex breed type and the color variety. Here, we are only concerned with breed type.

Reading this and comparing with your Orpington book should clear up the differences between the breeds.
