Sussex chickens are great! I have one and I just love her personality. I don't know much about warrens. I would check out our learning center and breed section. There you'll find tons of helpful info

My Sussex seems abit shy of people but with more bonding she might come through

They are friendly chickens so she should come through as long as you make an effort to tame her
