This is a Sussex hen and rooster they are much like Plymouth rock
roosters, and Delawares (color wise.) They are mostly used for meat.
Sussexs have single combs. The hens are good egg layers, and lay
brownish eggs. They are also very friendly and sweet. They as you can
see are very pretty. The hen and rooster are very much alike in fact
they look exactly alike. The chicks are so cute looking and very easily
tamed. They prefer to be free range than to be locked up.The chicks are
usually colored like the chicks below. They are popular garden chickens,
and have a bantam version at 1/4 size; the bantams may be any of the
eight colors. Sussex chickens are colored: Brown, Buff, Light, Red,
Speckled, Silver, White and Coronation.They are so beautiful, and again
very sweet
