About the Light Sussex

Originating in Sussex, England, Light Sussex birds are noted for their high food consumption. They occur as red, white, light and speckled varieties. Although speckled is the oldest, the light variety is the most popular. The Sussex is an excellent table bird as well as being favoured by the fancier. It lays brown eggs but has a tendency to go broody. It is one of the most attractive of all the heavy breeds of poultry.
