Hi and welcome Sussex19! There are 4 hens living in my suburban backyard in Adelaide. Cuckoo orpington sounds like a nice hen. Sussexes are good looking chickens too.

Hi all, I've had chickens for a bit over a year now, started out with a pair of Cuckoo Orpington pullets and a Light Sussex cockerel, which rapidly became two roosters, seven hens, seven pullets and various cockerels which have been becoming delicious roast chicken.
There's been a few problems and BYC as really helped, so I've been lurking a fair bit and learning lots
We live in the south-east corner of NSW Australia.
Really looking to meeting people and finding out more about chickens

Hi I just joined yesterday but welcome from Central Florida

Hello @MaryJanet how are things in SA, here it's damp and cold.
Sadly we only have one Cuckoo Orpington now as one of them had do be put down, however we do two BO pullets.
I love the Sussex breed we've got Light, Coronation and one Speckled.
Also welcome @Antiocheggers I hope you have a great time!

It's been quite chilly (by Adelaide standards) but not wet.

Speckled and Coronation sussex! Nice! Two of the chooks on my wishlist.

I highly recommend Coronation Sussex as long you don't mind them going broody, last year the best one went broody three times, which I love as we wanted chicks. However the Speckled Sussex isn't fully grown yet but she's rather small, I don't know how big she'll end up.
