Black Sex Link
The Black Sex Link is one of the most dependable, productive, and easy-to-raise hybrid chickens available. Known for their excellent egg production and gentle personalities, Black Sex Links make a fantastic choice for both beginners and seasoned poultry keepers.
A cross between a Rhode Island Red rooster and a Barred Rock hen, this breed combines the best traits of both parents—hardiness, strong laying ability, and calm temperament. Hens reliably produce 250–300 large brown eggs per year, often starting earlier than many heritage breeds. Their color pattern at hatch also makes them sexable, allowing males and females to be identified immediately—ideal for customers looking for pullets.
Black Sex Links are known for being friendly, easygoing birds that adapt well to a variety of environments. They perform beautifully in both confinement and free-range setups and tend to be highly resilient in different climates.
