Sussex have straight combs and clean legs. The bird posted by OP, which is a light brahma, has a rose comb and feathered shanks.

The Light Brahma has a pea comb, not a rose comb.

All Brahmas have pea combs.

Rose comb is caused by a different gene, and looks different than a pea comb (although it can be hard to tell in some photos, depending on how cooperative the chicken was.)

One of my hens looks like this ..

That would be a Prairie Bluebell Egger or Ameraucana.... but possibly Easter Egger too. Where did you get her? & What color eggs does she lay?

And Betty looks like this

Purebred Light Brahma. @Mygooseandrooster, the reason it's not a Light Sussex is because it has feathered feet... the only breed I know of that has this Columbian feather patterning and has feathered feet is a Light Brahma.

That's great. Thank you. How about this little lady?

That is a poor quality Brown Leghorn. Leg color is off but everything else points to a Brown Leghorn.

Apologies, I know they have pea combs. Not sure why I thought rose in the moment.

I am going to see if I can post a picture of one of my hens on here, soon. Cause I've got a mystery chicken too! Pic may not come right away.

Yes, it works much better to create a new thread for a different chicken that belongs to a different person. That way we don't get confused about which chicken is being discussed where
