Hi
Without pictures its completely IMPOSSIBLE to ask anyone what they are
Anther www.tinypic.com
Just because they were sold as something .....
I do not know of pure breed Light Sussex with floppy combs AT ALL; they
should be tight compact upright combs.
However the fashionista 'Sussex Stars' might well have floppy combs as they
are mostly commercial white egg layer [aka Leghorn derived hybrid] with
enough Light sussex in them to give the collar and cuffs.
