Connection between colours of Sussex hens and "List of chicken colours" page.[edit]

In the Characteristics section it says: "Eight colour varieties are recognised by the Poultry Club of Great Britain: brown, buff, coronation, light, red, silver, speckled and white." The link under "colour varieties" goes to List of chicken colours. On that page it does not have colour listed as "light". Perhaps that inconsistency should be fixed.Geoff Pointer (talk) 00:13, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Geoff Pointer for this useful ... pointer! I've now added a note to the white Columbian entry in that list to clarify that 'light' is also used for it in (as far as I know) two breeds. Many thanks, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 12:35, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And thanks to you, Justlettersandnumbers, great stuff. Geoff Pointer (talk) 02:04, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
