Our Light Sussex hens are a true heritage breed, traditionally kept on British smallholdings for generations. Unlike industrial hybrid layers bred for high output at the cost of health and longevity, Light Sussex chickens lay strong, nutrient-dense eggs with deep golden yolks and rich, full-bodied flavour. How We Raise Them At My Little Farm, our hens roam freely on diverse pasture, foraging for bugs, seeds, and wild greens, supplementing their diet with a natural, non-GMO, soy-free feed. This outdoor, regenerative system allows them to live as chickens should—scratching, dust-bathing, and ranging freely—resulting in healthier birds and superior eggs. Unlike conventional laying hens, our Light Sussex flock is raised without vaccinations, pharmaceuticals, or artificial lighting to force egg production. Instead, they lay at a natural, steady pace, producing eggs that are larger, more nutritious, and packed with flavour.
