How old do they have to be to show?

There is no hard & fast rule about age for showing, but it is generally suggested that you don't show a bird until it is at least 6 months old. The reason is, that you will be competing with adults, and birds under 6 months just don't have the development to compete against the adults to win BOB. But, 6 months to a year is where you can show a pullet or cockerel.

Hi !

They are not approved by the APA. You can show
them but they cannot get to Champion Row. The
Sussex is in the English Class.
Best,
Karen

OK, I thought they had to show in Misc? or something since not an approved color?

Quote: You show them in "AOV" under sussex, any other variety..English class.

What class do coronation sussex show in?

They would be shown as Coronation Sussex in the within the breed Sussex and the Class English. There are no "AOV" categories within a breed. All breeds entered in APA/ABA sanctioned shows must have a variety listed.
