The book I have has a chart for adult breeds, not chicks. You might want to use zip ties since the chicks will quickly outgrow them. According to the chart for an adult Sussex:
Bantam Hen - 7
Bantam Cock - 7
Standard Hen - 11
Standard Cock - 12

Hi Dobieslady1 thank you very much for that. Ill order size 11. and just use the zip ties untill they get older.
cheers again.
