Sussex Chickens

[Ginger Beer]

What is the best ratio of Roosters to Hens for the following types:-
Speckled Sussex,
Buff Sussex,
Coronation Sussex,
Lavender Sussex,
Brown Sussex,
Platinum Sussex,
Light Sussex, and
Silver Sussex.

Thank you for in advance for any advice.

All breeds are the same. Three roosters to sixty hens.

As a rule a good ratio of hens to Rooster is 10 to 1. For Sussex alone, sorry I don't know how the color genetics would work out. It would be best if you asked on a Sussex thread.

In some breeds mixing in colors of parents could end up with birds that don't meet the SOP(standard of Perfection).

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
The maximum number of hens to roosters* for good fertility is generally considered to be 10:1. You can have more roosters if you have proper space and housing for them so they don't fight over the hens.

I love Speckled Sussuxes! I have never seen any other color of sussux, but I will probably love them all!
