$4.50 deposit required (per bird) if you want to guarantee pullets. We are ordering these from a local family farm who cannot sex the birds. They are willing to change out any males for females if you pay for the deposit.
Sussex chickens are my favorite breed! They are layers of tinted or light brown eggs and are known to be excellent winter layers. They are considered dual-purpose birds and are heavy bodied. They are not prone to flying when mature making them easily fenced.
They forage well and are economical eaters that are very friendly. Their curious nature means they will often follow you around the yard if they think they can get a treat. (My chicken ALWAYS does this, its great!) The "speckled" variety has plumage that provides good camouflage from predators. Many tend to get more speckles after each successive molt, making for more colorful birds with age.
Best kept free range and confined; cold hardy and heat tolerant.
