2 different groups... the 2nd one was created out of protest from several members that like you want to work with the APA not against them... I have found that most ppl raising poultry are great ppl but a couple ppl with some money to invest can sure make it look like they have a nice poultry club lol...
I am so confusedAre the American Sussex Association and the American Sussex Breeders two groups or the same group? I was invited to join the Sussex group on FB, did with no research (to my great chagrin), and now am horrified to see all this discussion of thumbing their noses at the APA, believing they can somehow require adherence to specific genetic makeup as if it could even be determined. Arrgh. I have always thought of Sussex folk as much like the breed - useful, even-tempered, and self-reliant. This apparent takeover of the breed club is very disconcerting.
