Light Sussex Chickens

After the Garden Club Xmas breakup breakfast today we picked up  the replacement chickens following the fox taking most of our last flock. These birds are from another club member who is moving and is unable to take a rooster to the new place. They are a breed I have never had before, called  a Light Sussex.  They are a much larger bird than the Australorp or Rhode Island Red that we previously had.  We have been assured  the rooster is non aggressive to people but he has some pretty impressive spurs that I wouldn't like to be on the receiving end of.
