Sussex Chickens

Sussex herminée 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
