Hi, I’m Waffle

Waffle is a striking black and white Sussex chicken with a sweet, curious personality and an air of mystery - their gender is currently unknown, but their charm is unmistakable!

Sussex chickens are known for being friendly, calm, and wonderfully social birds, and Waffle is no exception, however, Waffle does take time to be comfortable at being close to humans - possibly a little human exposure before entering RSPCA care. With a bit of patience and a peaceful environment, Waffle will make a delightful addition to the right home.

Sussex chickens are a hardy, traditional breed prized for their gentle nature and adaptability. They usually enjoy foraging, dust‑bathing, and exploring their surroundings, making them perfect backyard companions. They are also well‑loved for being good with people, often developing strong bonds with their caretakers.

Waffle is looking for a home that can offer:

- A secure, predator‑proof coop with space to roam and scratch.
- A calm flock environment with other friendly chickens (or the promise of building a gentle flock around them).
- Daily enrichment like safe free‑range time, healthy treats, and opportunities to forage.
- Kind, patient carers who understand that Waffle is still growing into their personality - and their future gender!

Whether Waffle turns out to be a handsome rooster or a lovely hen, one thing is certain: this beautiful Sussex chook has a lot of heart to give.

If you're ready to welcome a sweet, classic breed chicken into your life, Waffle may be the perfect feathered friend for you.
