i knew it was a RIRxSussex cross but its not Light Sussex, its RIR x Silver sussex my mistake.... sorry. (looked it up on internet.)

OK That may be but the Silver Sussex would have to be the Roo or the hens would be black copper colored like Black Copper Marans. A Silver male produces pure silver gened pullets and a Gold male produces pure gold gened pullets.

I have read about these different crosses too but just like here in the US, what the breeders of these hybrids say goes into their crosses and what is genetically possible is usually quite different and its understandable that they arent always going to tell the truth about what they used to breed becuase they want you to buy from them instead of make your own.

I'm working on crossing SLW with SIlver Sussex right, hopefully in 20 years I'll have my own breed. Lol
