The detail
Sex-links are hybrid hens, like Red Stars and Black Stars, bred so chicks can be sexed by color at hatch. They are among the best brown-egg layers and are calm, which makes them a common choice for new keepers.
What to weigh
Sex-links lay heavily for two to three years and then slow down. Heavy layers are prone to reproductive problems later in life.
