Light Sussex Chicken Breeding
Light Sussex Chickens are very appealing fowls to almost all poultry fanatics. This is because they are dual purpose birds who are bred for both their meat and their eggs.
They have snow white feathers with a black perimeter that is found on their neck hackles. They also have black throughout their primary and secondary wing feathers along with a black tail.
The Light Sussex is a heritage breed that originates from Sussex, England and are classed as a soft feather heavy fowl.
They’re quite stocky birds that don’t fly well so flying out of a coop or over a fence is a rare problem.
If you’re looking for a stunning fowl easy on the eye along with the benefits of both egg and meat production the Sussex is the breed for you.
