Red Sex Link Chicks

At Purely Poultry, we’re excited to introduce the Red Sex Link, a popular hybrid breed celebrated for its impressive egg-laying abilities and practical features. If you’re looking for a bird that’s easy to raise and excels at egg production, Red Sex Links are an ideal choice. One of the most convenient aspects of this breed is the ease of determining the sex at birth—thanks to their unique coloration, males and females can be distinguished right away, making them perfect for poultry keepers who want to plan their flocks from day one.

Red Sex Links are the result of crossing Rhode Island Red roosters with Delaware hens, creating a breed that excels in both adaptability and egg-laying. These birds are designed for productivity, with hens regularly producing 200 to 280 large, light-brown eggs annually. Whether you’re in a hot or cold climate, Red Sex Links can handle the extremes, thriving in a variety of environments. They are just as comfortable in small backyard coops as they are in free-range settings, making them a versatile option for beginners and seasoned chicken keepers alike.

In terms of temperament, Red Sex Link hens are friendly, active, and easy to manage. They are great for family flocks and those looking for a reliable source of fresh eggs throughout the year. Hens typically weigh about 6.5 pounds, while roosters are a bit larger at 8.5 pounds. While the hens are generally docile and well-behaved, roosters can sometimes be more territorial, so they may not be the best fit for homes with young children or pets.

While Red Sex Links aren’t officially recognized by the American Poultry Association, they are an outstanding example of successful crossbreeding. Their shorter lifespan of 2 to 3 years is balanced by their rapid maturity and incredible egg production. With the right care and attention, they can provide a steady supply of eggs and lots of enjoyment as part of your flock.

At Purely Poultry, we are committed to delivering healthy, vibrant Red Sex Link chicks that are ready to thrive in your backyard or farm. Each order is backed by our live arrival guarantee, ensuring your chicks arrive safely and ready to grow into productive members of your flock. Ready to add these prolific layers to your backyard?
