Very interesting!!! I've been looking in other directions than older publications.........so thanks for the digging! :) That first one does bring back that thought...........where did the black hackles go............. As to the second one with the photos, I blew them up as big as I could get...

I just meant that it was odd that of the three Sussex breeds recognized by the APA, only the Red differs in the hackle department from other countries' standards from what I can see so far. I am doing a lot of digging around, have contacted a couple of breeders in Britain in search of more...

Thank you! I'm going to do some additional digging over the next couple of weeks as time allows. I'm now more than a little curious, especially after closely viewing the currently more than 150 Red Sussex in the pens and seeing that I don't have a single roo or hen, young or old, that has no...

It does seem odd to me that a breed is recognized all over the world as being one feather pattern, yet our Standard would be so different. Hubby jokingly said well, maybe the first Reds to come to America were somebody's culls out of England..........and so the first ones here were just...

Thank you so much, Walt, your expertise is invaluable! I appreciate the history lesson on the SOP as well...........a person can't learn this information from just anywhere. If we need no black hackles on the Red, then that's what my grandson and I will continue to work towards. Not going to...

Wowsers, that is a lotta cash! Thanks for the information!

Thank you for this information, Walt!! I could not remember one being in any older versions - used to borrow the SOP from the 4H and FFA leaders when my kids were breeding and showing way back. Now that I have a grandson very interested in breeding and showing, he's chosen some of the heritage...

I did not realize that was how it worked........... That said, I would imagine it is not inexpensive to sponsor such a thing.

That is a terrific idea................................however..............................that means I would still have to wait another 10 years to see it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ten years of floundering around with expensive rare birds just doesn't seem real productive to me. Does anyone know if...

I was very disappointed to discover that there were no color plates in the 2010 edition for the Red Sussex, one of the breeds I am working hard to bring back up to the APA Standard............some have said no big deal, it's just a light sussex with red where the white is.........but still, I'd...
