red sex link, red stars, and red crossed basically the same either a rir rooster over a white rock or rir over a rhode island white or a rir rooster over a silver laced wyandotte.. .....they are the best of each stock from hatcheries cross bred im sure their "recipe" includes some type of breeding back crossing the generations....I hope this helps

A grow-out tractor of twelve week old ISA Brown red sex-links.

We keep a dozen for our layer flock then sell the rest.

beautiful!!! when do yours usually start laying, i have a few start at 19 weeks and the rest around 22 weeks old

I pretty much always see the first eggs at eighteen weeks. Once had them start at sixteen, but I prefer for that not to happen. I feed a 21% starter not a lower protein starter/grower so with these ISA girls they come in like clockwork.

Nice! I really am wanting to get more. I need to find a couple this week. Don't have room for 12 though, I wish! They really do start laying spot on around 18 to 20 weeks don't they? They are great, and the eggs are a very nice size to boot!

My Red Sex Links started to lay around 18 week. I have had them start as early as 16 weeks.

These are my Heritage Rhode Island Reds and Red Sex Links.

A couple years in a row i had all my pullets start the same day....kind of wierd... i usually have 12 and its funny 2 years in a row they all laid their first egg on the same day lol......but that only happens when i buy em as day olds...this year i bout all pol pullets 9.99 each, which i thought was a good price and they're all beautiful .....really saved me on all that rearing stuff.... i didnt have the patience this year lol
