Hi. My name is Pete. I joined Poultry Talk yesterday. I live in a small village called Millthorpe which is nearer to Chesterfield than Sheffield, but I think of myself as a Barnsley lad which is where I am originally from.

I'm interested in keeping Sussex's and managed to bid for my first batch of eggs on ebay today. They are Red Sussex. I was going to start with Lights as I find these really attractive but saw these and I know that Reds are much more scarce than some of the other colours. I dont have have any particular preference when it comes to colour and eventually hope to have some of all the recognised colours and maybe do a bit of breeding of my own, maybe experimenting with new colours.

Any other Sussex fanciers out there?

Cheers.

Pete.

Hi Pete.
Sorry for not posting before. I notice you regularly pay us a visit which is great to see. I hope you like the network and enjoy being a member.

If you do have any feedback please let us know. Myself only kept Speckled bantams before but I think Sussex are quite a nice breed. I am sure you will meet more Sussex fanciers here as the network grows.

Regards,
Jamie.

hi pete.

im in to light sussex started last yr & loving evry min of them i live in doncaster area

Hi Pete,

I'm from Sheffield originally (Broomhill area), still go back a few times a year.

I keep bantam light sussex and use to have some bantum buff sussex as well. Can't tell you a lot about the large fowl versions, but the bantam sussex are the friendliest of all the breeds I've had.

The reds should be good. Look out for silver and coronation too if you're after more unusual colours.
