Speckled Sussex are gorgeous and unique looking chickens. Speckled Sussex have mahogany feathers are accented with glossy black and tipped with white, which gives them the ‘speckled’ look, almost as if they had been splashed with white paint. They have a single comb. Other color varieties of the Sussex breed include Light, Buff, Silver, Brown, and Red. They grow to be a somewhat large and heavy bird.

This breed is very easy to keep. They do not demand much attention, and will generally keep themselves busy as they are curious and active. They are also very gentle and friendly, so these are great chickens for beginners and for kids!
