Black Sex Link Started Pullet

Black Sex Link Started Pullets

Black Sex-Link chickens are a beautiful and highly productive hybrid, perfect for those raising hens primarily for egg production. These hens lay large to extra-large brown eggs up to 5–6 times a week and feature mostly black plumage with shimmery beetle green tones, occasionally accented with mahogany, rust, or golden hues. Sexed at hatch by feather color, they’re both practical and visually striking. With a single, tight comb, they’re well-suited to a variety of climates, and their white to gray legs add to their hardy, no-fuss appeal.

This breed is a hybrid. Hybrids are created by crossing two different parents and will not breed true. Crosses are generally created for vigor and production qualities, but also for desired traits such as egg color or feather patterns.
