Reverse Sussex | Silver Sussex | Garden Hen - Available NOW

Product Description

This is a complete reverse of a Light Sussex, the Silver Sussex is mainly Black in colour, with a blaze of white feathers to the front - they are all very unique in their feather patterns, some are lighter, some are darker, but personality-wise, they are all the same - robust and hardy, ideal for the first time keeper and they lay a decent amount of eggs.

Egg colour is ranges from Champagne to a Light Brown, depending on the hen herself.

You can expect approx. 300-310 eggs per year.

We sell our hens "At Point of Lay" but please be aware that you hen will be between 16-19 weeks old, so dont expect eggs straight away. (we can advise on exact age when you collect). Your hen may start to lay at around 18-20 weeks old, she will be laying at 50% capacity by the time she is 22 weeks old, and will be at full laying capacity at around 30 weeks old.

Here is our list of recommended supplements available on Amazon - we strongly suggest you have a look and buy one (they are less then £10 as a rule) as the hens will sell will shortly be coming into lay, and the supplements really do help. It's stressful enough moving coops - without then having 7 kids a week... https://amzn.to/3v29tj6
