Black Sex Link chickens are a hybrid breed known for high egg production, primarily laying brown eggs, and are easily sexed at hatching by feather color. Female chicks are black, while male chicks have white spots on their heads. They are a popular choice for backyard egg producers due to their prolific laying habits and friendly temperament. 

Characteristics:

• Egg Production:Black Sex Links are excellent layers, producing 200-300 brown eggs per year. 
• Sexing at Hatch:A distinguishing feature is the ability to sex chicks at hatching. Female chicks are black, and male chicks have white spots on their heads. 
• Temperament:They are generally known for their active and friendly nature. 
• Climate Adaptability:Black Sex Links are cold-hardy and heat-tolerant, making them adaptable to various climates. 
• Hybrid Breed: Our Black Sex Links are a cross between a Barred Rock hen and a Black Minorca cockerel. This cross creates a hybrid, meaning they don’t breed true and will not produce offspring with the same sexing characteristics. 
• Physical Characteristics:Hens weigh around 6.5 lbs, and roosters weigh about 8 lbs. Their legs and feet are white to gray.
