CHICKENS

Chickens

We have a wide range of chicken breeds at Mudchute, including the Light Sussex and the beautiful Dutch Bantam.

  • Light Sussex

    Originated in the county of Sussex, England more than 100 years ago. A general-purpose breed for producing meat and/or eggs. One of the best dual-purpose chickens.

  • Dutch Bantam

    Dutch bantams are the smallest of the bantam breed chickens and the smallest chicken breed at Mudchute. At full size, a Dutch bantam cockerel weighs only 500-550g. It is one of few “true bantam” breeds, meaning it has no large counterpart. As their name suggests, the breed originate in the Netherlands where they are called Hollandse Kriel. The breed standard for Dutch bantams includes a “upright & jaunty” carriage.
