    • Silver Sussex

    The Sussex originated in the county of Sussex. They were prized table birds more than 100 years ago. The Sussex today is still a very popular breed to keep, the most common being Light - The Silver Sussex is a much rarer bird. Bred to be a dual purpose bird, it is one of the most productive breeds around. The hen will lay around 260+ large eggs a year that are cream to light brown in colour.
