Black Sex Link Chickens

Black Sex-Links are produced using a Barred Rock as the mother and Rhode Island Red Males. Both sexes hatch out black, but the males have a white dot on their heads. Pullets feather out black with some red in neck feathers. Males feather out with the Barred Rock pattern along with a few red feathers. Black Sex-Links are often referred to as Rock Reds. They are planned crosses, which are hardier and more productive than their parents' respective breeds. The Sex Link Hybrid is the result of crossing two purebred standard breeds. This hybrid makes for very vigorous chicks, rugged brown egg laying hens and good cockerel fryers. These are extremely high in demand from our Asian community. Recently a customer asked What color eggs do Black Sex Link lay? Black Sex Links lay brown eggs.
