The Sussex chicken is a dual purpose breed of chicken that
originating in England around the time of the Roman conquest of
Britain in AD 43 that is a popular garden chicken in many
countries. They come in eight colours (with a couple more being developed) and
have a bantam version at 1/4 size; the bantams may be any of the
eight colours.

the American Sussex Association was formed.
