About Coronation Sussex

Coronation Sussex bring a softer colour contrast to the traditional Sussex shape. White plumage and lavender markings make them a distinctive addition for keepers who enjoy a substantial heritage bird.

Breed at a glance

• Laying ability: General Sussex guide: around 200–250 eggs per hen in a productive year; not a separately measured Coronation figure.
• Temperament: Generally calm and curious, following the broader Sussex breed tendency.
• Egg colour: Tinted, tan or light brown; individual shell shades vary.
• Weight and size: Large, heavy Sussex variety. Adult hens around 3.2 kg and roosters around 4.1 kg.

Laying numbers and adult weights are general breed guides, not measured results or guarantees for our flock. Age, season, moulting, broodiness and care affect laying; individual birds differ.

Before bringing chicks home

Prepare a secure brooder, suitable heat source, chick starter feed, chick-safe drinker and clean bedding before collection. Each release will state the price per chick, hatch date, age and any sexing information. A fertile egg order is a separate product.

Check current availability or contact us about the next hatch. A preorder is only open when the listing has a confirmed collection window.

Collection and photos

Live chicks are for local collection in Brisbane by arrangement. Hatch date, age and any sexing information will be stated with the available group. Please wait for a confirmed collection time before travelling.

Adult bird photographs show our breeding stock, rather than the chicks in a particular hatch. Current chick photos will be added with each release.

Read our delivery and collection policy or ask Charli about availability.

Collection and dispatch

Collection in Brisbane is available on Sundays and Mondays by appointment. Live birds are not posted. Preorders are normally ready for collection within 1–2 weeks; we will contact you if there is a delay. Wait for a confirmed collection time before travelling.
