Where are your Speckled Sussex from? We know of several looking for some that are bred to the Standard.

I'm looking for some SOP eggs, or at least LARGE bodied birds. Lots of skinny birds around FL- haven't found much here, though I haven't been looking long and sorry if I insulted anyone!

Hi,
This is an open invitation to all Sussex breeders and fanciers.
Please come on over to the Chicken State University SOP thread at BYC.

We are currently discussing all varieties of the Sussex fowl. Please come and bring pics of your birds for us to evaluate and discuss. They don't have to be show quality birds. There are poultry experts on this thread whose valuable opinion you can solicit. If you can get a nice side profile, rear profile, and head shot, and a pic from over hear, this would be wonderful. Please come and join us!
Best Regards,
Karen

Quote: Hi,
I was over at Waltz's Ark website the other day. Just super impressed with their birds. They start late in the season because of their geographic location in CO so have eggs and chicks available now. Their birds are all raised naturally by a Dr. of natural nutrition. The breasts on these Sussex are fab! They do have Light Sussex and have separate pens for their Aussie, US and Canadian lines Plus separate pens for their project mixed strains. I have a small flock of pure English Light Sussex which I got from a US breeder who imported them thru Canada years ago. I really like what I see in them. The Canadian Light Sussex are nice looking birds. Anyway, if I was looking for more Light Sussex, I would check out the Canadian lines for sure!

Thanks!!!!! Former PA person myself- Go PSU!

The Exhibition and Breeding to the Standard of Perfection forum has been created for those with breeder quality stock to have more serious poultry discussions. This includes discussions on breeding to the standard, genetics, exhibition, breeding strategies, breeding for specific traits, etc.
It’s Staff’s desire to moderate this forum with an eye toward consideration that many of the folks participating here are longtime breeders who may write in a down-to-earth and non-sugar-coated way; this certainly doesn’t mean that, when posting here, the Rules do not apply. This is simply meant to advise folks new to this forum that, for example, if they ask a question about a picture they just posted of a bird from their flock, they should expect a straightforward answer, taken from the viewpoint of someone who is breeding exhibition fowl.
We do not want this section to be a competition among breeders but, rather, a collaborative effort to further the breed they are working with. BYC is a very diverse community, and this section will be no different. Poultry judges, experienced breeders, and those new to breeding are all welcome, and all have something to contribute to this forum.
Participants are encouraged to understand and use the terminology found in the APA Standard of Perfection and avoid usage of terminology that might be considered "slang" in the poultry world.
This section is not intended for discussion of pet birds or birds bred/sold by hatcheries; conversations in regard to these birds and flocks should take place in the General Breed Discussions and FAQ section.
Here is the new Sussex Forum :
