The Sussex chicken is a dual purpose breed originating in England at the time of the Roman conquest. The Sussex can be of standard size or bantam. Their large eggs are cream to light brown, and the hen lays 240 - 260 eggs a year, with the light color types being best as layers. Rarely a Light Sussex will lay a green egg.
