Member Reviews: light sussex chicken

I have a buff sussex hen and am ordering 5 light sussex to produce goldtops next spring. there doesnt seem to be a buff sussex breed on the list though.  

I have a LS and she has the most wonderful personality.  She is a bit of a diva and likes to be top hen.  She is very brave and thinks nothing of jumping up and grabbing food out of my hand (like my lunch!).  She is 4 now and still laying well.  She can be a bit mean to other hens, but she likes to be top hen, so this may just be her trait.   She does make a noise if something like a cat is in the garden (good alarm system), so I know something is wrong if I hear her.  She also made a lot of noise after laying an egg, but then I guess that is common.    She has not gone broody.   She can jump/fly quite high.  Loves...

They are an excellent bird, quite large but very friendly, recognise voices and follow you round the garden! I'd recommend to anyone wanting chickens, high egg production and gorgeous tasty eggs!

they are amazing dual purpose chickens i have 6 of them
