The lady that I bought my last 2 coronation sussex from, puts her rooster in a box every night and locks him in the shed. She lives in the country, but said that he had taken to sitting under her bedroom window. She said that he was very good about it, so used to it that he simply hops in.

My sussex hens have 8 x nesting boxes, but all 7 hens choose to lay in the one box. You should hear the protests from those waiting in line. Much louder and more annoying than any roosters crow

Hi Sarah, I have fertile eggs that I post all round Australia if you don't have any luck. I have pure white, partridge , blue partridge and red blue. They are dear little things, but do succumb to the elements. We use to live at floreat park, and the nights can still get very crisp. Good luck...

Hey, Allicoop I have 50 acres but it s very hard to keep the Roos from hurting each other. My buff sussex. Roo spurred my gold laced Wyandotte in the hock. He's been on antibiotics for 12 days, but alas he died this morning. The girls will miss him. On a brighter note, I have 3 cute little...

Hey we're all here! I'm in the huon valley Tasmania. I lost one of my silver laced Wyandotte chicks in the heat. Found it more effective to hose the tops of the trees they were huddled under and just let it trickle down on them. Pity the poor buggers caught up in the bush fires .
