Sussex

 The Sussex have everything : They are great layers of tinted or light brown eggs -- and they lay right through the coolest weather. They are dual purpose birds, though: fat- bodied and not prone to flying when mature, so they are friendly and easily handled. Their curious nature means that they will often follow you around the yard if they think they can beg a treat from you. The"Speckled" variety has plumage that gives them some camouflage from predatores, too. Many tend to get more speckled after each molt, so they just get prettier with age. Seriously, what more could you ask for in a chicken.
