Amber links

[dc09]

Could someone please tell me what two pure breed birds are needed to get amber links chickens

Amber links are a brand name of commercial hybrid developed by a company called Dekalb. They will have been bred from specially developed lines & it would not be possible to exactly reproduce them.

Sex Link Chickens and More
April 16, 2009 by allaroundhorses

So have you ever wondered which hybrid chicken to choose, or even if you should use them? Or maybe you are wondering if you would want to try a hybrid chicken…

I will start off by giving you some of the hybrid egg layers commonly found:

*NOTE-The names, especially for the red sex links often vary from hatchery to hatchery, the names I have here are just basically a rule of thumb. not the rule everyone goes by.
(Male X Female)
Black Star/Black Sex Link
Rhode Island Red (RIR) X Barred Plymouth Rock or New Hampshire X Barred Rock

Red Star/Red Sex Link
RIR X White Leghorn

Cherry Eggers
RIR X New Hampshire Red

Cinnamon Queen
New Hampshire X Silver Laced Whyandotte

Golden Comet
New Hampshire X White Rock

Red Sex Link
RIR X Rhode Island White or Production Red X Delaware

Ambers
RIR X White Rock

Hybrids used for meat use:
Cornish Cross
White Rock X Cornish

Silver Barred Hybrid
Barred Rock X White Rock

My personal opinion
A Dekalb Amber is special to Dekalb's genetic line, but not just regular Ambers.​
