I hope some of that raise Light Sussex can help me. I incubated this one lone Light Sussex. It is now 14 weeks old. All along I thought it was a female because I saw other photos of light sussex hens that had red combs and waddles. This chicken had very thick legs and is quite large. I would so appreciate any help on sexing this pretty baby. If it is a rooster I have a home for it but the person wants it right away so he incorporate it into his other 14 week old girls. I appreciate any and all help.

I am expecting Light Sussex and Coronation chicks by mail tom

I am new to chickens in general but what can you tell me about these breeds? How early can they be sexed and how? Thanks

I'm interested in getting light and buff Sussex but have not found any sources in the US.
Does anybody know of such a hatchery or breeder?
(It would probably have to be chicks, since I don't trust my skill level with hatching eggs.)

I am in north west Florida. I have Lights, Corinations and Light /Corination Splits. Not sure where you are located. But I do have birds for sale!

Does anyone know where I can get some Sussex Poultry Club yearbooks? Mrs. Gage was getting some for me, but we lost touch about a year ago. I am esp. interested in any with articles on my variety, Light Sussex. I have birds from a pure English strain imported from Canada years ago. I got them from the flock owner in the western US. I am so excited to have these birds. I alsow ant to join the Sussex Poultry Club but never hear back from anyone when I ask about it. Ideas?
Best,

In western PA, USA

Didn't know if you knew but the American Sussex Association has a facebook page and is accepting new members!

Hi everyone. In 2011 I purchased a trio of Light Sussex from a fellow at the Chattahochee Valley Poultry Show in Newnan, Ga. I was so excited to FINALLY fined and see these beautiful birds in person that I neglected to find out any info on what line they came from or even the seller's name. Since then I have managed to breed out some really fine birds. I finally showed at Newnan this year in February. My Light pullet took BB/BV and my cockerel took RB/RV. Needless to say I was elated!!! Now I am looking for information on the origin of these birds. Hoping that the seller is on BYC. I'm pretty sure the seller is from Georgia. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks Holly
