More about Sussex Chickens
Character & features
The Sussex family includes different colour varieties rather than one uniform appearance. Choose the listed variety and check whether you want young birds, adult hens or a breeding pair.
Match the birds to your purpose: a laying flock, an ornamental group or a planned breeding setup. Talk to us about the particular birds if temperament or handling is important to you.
Suitability & care
Check the variety listed and plan housing for the bird's adult size. Introduce birds gradually and make sure all flock members can use feeders and shelter.
Plan a flock around adult size, space and the balance of hens and cockerels. Have shelter, feed and fresh water ready before the birds arrive. Our chicken house and run guide helps you prepare the setup.
Breed background
Sussex poultry were shown in Britain in the nineteenth century. Speckled is among the oldest varieties, with Light Sussex later becoming especially widespread.
