Red Sussex
Reds should
be a deep rich shade with the hackles striped in black. Tail black and under colour is slate. This colour is one of the original
varieties and is not a composite breed like the Light. It is a similar shade to the well known Rhode Island Red, although
not such deep chocolate (more reddy), but with the typical stripping of the hackle in black, the tail is also black and the
wings have black in the flight's. This is a handsome fowl with typical Sussex markings.
