Amaretto Breedables Customer Connection

We all should know by now that the Sussex Bantam chicken is the bird of the month for Amaretto’s October Qualified Breedings, but just what IS a Sussex Bantam? The Sussex is a British breed of dual-purpose chicken, reared both for its meat and for its eggs. Eight colours are recognised for both standard-sized and bantam fowl. The Sussex is described as a docile but confident and friendly bird that is easy to handle. They love to forage and are very good at it, gathering much of their needs from the garden which makes them thrifty hens. Sussex are all around hardy, especially in the cold. They can lay 4-5 large light brown eggs each week.

With the Barnyard Bird update to 3.0, Amaretto released the Sussex Bantam. You can have a chance at one of the exciting Non-Starter Breed Birds by breeding any bird with a starter bird or by breeding together two starter birds. This coat CAN be passed on.
