Hi stoopid, I don't think we will hear from him again. So frustrating, he actually knew W.H. Card, a famous poultryman and author whose works I have been studying. I had so wanted to talk to him about the man and his work, sad sigh. Oh boogers! Best, karen

Personally, since breed type is so closely aligned with productive virtues in the Sussex, I don't see any problem with either APA or British Poultry Club Standards meeting APA requirements. I've studied them both thru decades since pre-1920. Both the Standards and the expositions written about...

Hi NYREDS, Oh, I thought we were talking about BPC vs APA Sussex Standards That was what I was asking about. I haven't really studied the RIR Standards for both Clubs. Best, Karen

What don't you like about it, NYREDS? Thanks, Karen

Ah... that's where I erred. Thanks! karen

Oops. My mistake, Walt. Thanks for the correction. Karen

Thanks Walt, Perhaps the APA hackle feather is described as basic black because, in the US, the undercolor is slate? In Britian the undercolor is white to the skin. Well, my Light Sussex will have a white feather striped with black instead of a black feather laced with white but I don't see...

Hi, A question on Light Sussex for Walt Leonard, please. I am reading my APA SOP. For the Light Sussex, it states (quote is permitted by permission given in paratext of SOP (for dispension of knowledge only) " NECK: Hackle, web of feather, solid, lustrous, greenish black, moderately broad...

Hi Walt, Thanks so much for taking time to reply and educate! Best Regards, Karen

Hi, I need some help. Walt, Mr. Miller or anyone in the know with references. Maybe can direct me to some lit I can study? The question was posed to me "Does the length of the back effect the angle of the wing set as it differs from the horizontal plane?". I started looking into it but can't...

Looking back at my 1926 Outram "The Sussex Fowl....", he states, "...just an aside here... most all libraries and databases quote this as a 1926 edition. However, I found a mention in a Fall 1925 issue of a major poultry magazine where they commented the book had just been published. So it is...

Hi Walt, If I may interrupt a minute? Feathered World magazine did a wonderful series of painted pictures of the various varieties of the Sussex breed. Full color. I am new to the breed but liked the breed type I see in the pics. Anyway, Country Books in New Zealand reprinted the 1934 edition...

Hi NYRed, 19 pages ago! No wonder I couldn't find the original post. I apologize NYRed for jumping to conclusions. Well, let's hope all is well and Dr. Miller will come back to share with us again. Best Regards, Karen in western PA

Well what happened? What was the conversation that caused this? Oh nuts, NYRed. How do we get him back? Gobstopped is eastern slang. It means stunned into speeechlessness. A gob is a bun the size of a small hamburger but made out of cake...usually chocolate or red velvet. Sliced sideways and...

Hi, Another thing Broomhead wrote which really caught my attention. In discussing the Light Sussex, he states that much has been made of the long keelbone in the breed. This is a marker for quality in a meat producing bird. He also states that too long a keel isn't found in the better egg...

Hi, Judge Broomhead addresses this in part, in regard to egg laying abiliity. Look at this post: Page 14, post #138 of 159 Go to the URL for the book titled "The Light Sussex", check page 6 where he relates the actual mathematical dimensions for the "super" layer. Best, Karen

Hi Robert, Any way we could get you to share? Thank you, Karen
