BlackHackle's Light Sussex

[3riverschick]

still like TJ best. He's a comely youngster. Just need to grow out his tail a bit. I am not worried about the tail station yet. Look how nice and high on his legs he is at this age. a good thing. And that hackle, wow! So much to be desired how high it comes up on his neck! one of the best I have seen anywhere. wow.
Best,
Karen

So how did the show go, BlackHackle? Did you win? See any nice Light Sussex? If so, by whose work?

Hello, so the best I did was best of breed for Partridge Plymouth Rock. No Sussex breeders showed up except for Speckled. But I did meet a few breeders who had Sussex but didn't show them. I'm getting on to the updates for week 8

BlackHackle, is your new cock from the Belgian or the Swedish strain?
I emailed them but haven't herd back. Did they export to the US for you?
Thanks, Karen

Are there Sussex from those places?
I emailed Matthew and apparently he originally imported UK Sussex from two different lines back in 2013. Then last year he got imports from the US of Sussex from an APA registered flock. So they aren't pure UK Light Sussex the are 2/3's
