Red Sex Link
The Red Sex Link is one of the most popular and dependable egg-laying breeds available. Known for their exceptional productivity, friendly temperament, and hardy nature, Red Sex Links are an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced poultry keepers.
These hybrid hens are prized for their ability to lay 300+ large brown eggs per year, often outperforming many traditional breeds. They mature quickly, start laying early, and maintain strong production throughout their lifetime. Red Sex Links are also easy to identify at hatch—males and females hatch in different colors—making them ideal for customers who want guaranteed pullets.
Their calm, gentle personality makes them great for backyard flocks, families with children, and mixed-breed settings. They tolerate a wide range of climates and do well in both coop and free-range environments.
