The Black Sex-Link is an excellent brown egg layer. It was created from a Barred Rock hen and a Rhode Island Red cockerel. This creates a very versatile bird that is a great egg layer, has the temperament of a Barred Plymouth Rock, and can hold its own through the cold dark winter. A sex-link chicken is a hybrid which, at the time of hatch, can be sexed by its color making it an excellent choice if you want to ensure you'll have just females.
Black Sex-Link hens lay approximately 250 eggs per year.
