    How to get Coronation Sussex?

    Is it possible to get coronation sussex chickens if I were to breed my Lavender Sussex Rooster to my Light Sussex pullets? If not what kind of colour chicks would I get? What colour would the male and female chicks be? Any feedback would be appreciated.

    Light Sussex Cockerel or Pullet?

    Hi, I’ve got a light Sussex who’s recently started crowing and I’m starting to wonder if she is actually a he. I think she’s about 20 weeks old. I’m pretty new to keeping chickens so I’d love to get some more opinions. Thanks in advance!

    What type of bantam is this ?

    I bought two mixed bantam chicks in may and Rosie, the little yellow one just started to lay, I have no idea what she is ! She has blue legs with some feathers there. She also has a rose comb and a more ‘square ‘ or boxy head. I think my other one is some kind of light Sussex cross but I’m not...

    Like in previous post I am again having problems sexing Sussex chickens, I recently hatched 7 out of 10 eggs. These chicks are now 4-5 weeks old and are a cross between Light Sussex and a ISA Brown and Black hen. I do not know specifically who the mother is of which chick as they all look pretty...

    Hi (new joiner :-)) I have two 22 week old Light Sussex chickens and for the last 3 weeks they have been laying soft-shell eggs. I've given them oyster shell grit and they are on layers pellets. I'm new and wondered is this period/length normal and how long does this typically last in first...

    Hi, I've got a dedicated Broody Pekin Bantam sitting on 5 Light Sussex eggs and her only other companion is a copy cat broody Pekin that has only now proven her conviction to the cause and sitting on an infertile egg. Should I keep her broody as I have another 6 Light Sussex eggs in the...

    My large Fowl eggs are quite small.

    My girls are well into their laying year. Some are first time layers this year. But compared to a bantam egg I think they're fairly small. What size are your light sussex eggs. They're not utility. I'm happy with the eggs I was just wondering how big your girl's eggs are? Thank you.

    Can't wait to hatch more eggs!

    We hatched our first group eggs and got 5 Light susses and 1 bantam cochin. I had so much fun hatching that I am having a hard time waiting until after our vacation in April to hatch some more. I totally see why it can be so addicting to hatch.

    Not laying...

    We have 1 speckled sussex and 1 light sussex both are 9months old and we're still waiting for their 1st egg, is this normal? We have just come into winter so the daily temp is 10ish degrees could this be contributing? Thanks!

    Thank you for adding me!

    We have recently rejoined the chicken world after several years without them. We currently have three different stages of chickens, 2 day old,(6) junior high chicken (6) and 13 grown hens and one rooster. The different ages has proven to be a challenge. Very interested in Light Sussex chickens.
