I have a lookalike Silver Sussex, great looking bird, a good layer, and a good size too. I don't have any pictures as yet but will take some this week end.

Light Sussex seems to be mentioned on a few sites but with what? Does anyone know?

I think the Coronation are only in Australia at the moment??? Sorry, can't help on the Calder Rangers.

The Australian ones have lavender bits which makes them true breeding. (Blue anything is not true breeding).

Is it a standardised colour in the UK? I'm saving for the new edition of the book! It's bad enough having different names for the wild type in different breeds Tim Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         The Poultry Keeper Forum Index -> Breeds All times are GMT + 1 Hour Goto page Previous  1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 Page 7 of 7 Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2005 phpBB Group
