    Coronation Sussex Thread!

    Coronation Sussex Thread!

    Hi!!! I'm a coronation lover! I bought my first three pullets and a dozen hatching eggs a few days ago, as I've been eyeing the breed for awhile now. So happy! Very soft feathered and sweet temperament. I'm sure a roo will be hatched in a month, and I'll be sitting pretty!! By the way, the...

    How Long from mating to fertile egg?

    Thank you!! I suppose I'll hatch those out myself. The only thing that can happen is olive eggers or Wheaton ameraucanas. Thank you thank you :D
