Hey Cargo. Did you ever put up the specs on a website of the Wood's coop build for your MIL? It looks a lot like something I'd like to build. Thanks! Leela
Thought I would try to revive this thread! Trying to keep my finger on the pulse of who is breeding and exhibiting Light Sussex in the US.
Chime in!
I do have some that I have been exhibiting and will be breeding this spring. I am unsure if I will have eggs or started juveniles this year, all...

Is 1922 the same year the SOP was changed for ground color to Mahogany Bay as well?
This is 1921. Reddish-brown, each feather tipped with white, a black bar dividing the white from balance of feather.
Thanks,
Leela
Hope you will consider joining us! We welcome new exhibitors, please let me know if you have any questions!

She will get her first true feathers around 3-4 months. The white on chest will go away. Different lines mature at varied times. Hatchery birds generally mature and produce earlier. Exhibition lines usually lay first egg around 6-8 months depending on the time of year they hatch. If I hatch...
Do you have a copy of the American Poultry Association Standard of Perfection? If you are in the US it should be your first purchase as a new breeder. You can find a ton of info there about how to breed to standard.
I can't really start selecting until at least 26 weeks. If I see defects, bad...

In the future just throw the plugs away ;-) They really are useless. You may have starved them of oxygen if plugs were in for the full incubation. I've done it...so I know. I don't use any plugs in any incubator. The 1602N with fan and turner really is a great incubator. I add a wet...

Sending you lots of good energy for a successful hatch! I find the hovabator 1602N with fan kit and turner is a great unit for the beginner that is doing small hatches. I have two of them, one as an incubator, and one as a hatcher. I also have a cabinet I am borrowing, since I have...

Skytop Bantams is Jackie Koedatich, a good friend of mine (and mentor). She lives in FL. I am unsure if she sells any eggs or chicks. You can find her on facebook or in the ABA yearbook. She also raises Black Australorps and Buff Brahma bantams. She moved to FL from MA a few years ago...
I believe the website for the American Sussex Breeders Association is the precursor to now official the American Sussex Association, as that website points to our website at americansussex.org As far as I know there is only one club for Sussex in the US, and that is the American Sussex...

Our website is temporarily down...long story. It should be back up in a couple of days. Apologies for any inconvenience. Feel free to write to me at [email protected] and I will let you know when it's back up and running. I look forward to welcoming you as a new member! Leela...
Thanks Howard!
Maybe I didn't make myself clear in the dimensions etc. I want to build the house in two parts, and connect together for the winter, making it two coops in the nicer weather. So the back section is the larger. 8 X 8 perhaps for the larger section and the open front section...
Hi All!
I'm looking to build several of the Woods type houses for my breeding flock. Trying to figure out the best size. Thinking 8 x 8 with a front open annex that I can move separately, maybe 6 X 8. Wondering if that would allow the proper air flow? I figured an 8 foot square is easier to...
