breeds photos: The Sussex
The Sussex is derived from the original Old Sussex fowls, bred
for their meat and eggs in Victorian times. The formation of the
1903 Sussex Breed Club led to further development in colours and
varieties, many with spectacular, beautiful feather patterns.
Sussex are graceful, possessing a long, broad, flat back, tail
at an angle of 45 degrees, fine neat head and a medium sized single
comb. The eyes of darker colours are red, the lighter ones, orange,
but all colours have red earlobes and white legs and feet. The
breed comes in large and bantam sizes, with the Light Sussex bantam
being by far the most popular.
