My red sex links are super layers. Lay large brown eggs. All winter too even with no extra light. They miss a day every few days and the next day a very large egg. Also friendly and curious?{spell}. I got my 2 at 1 1/2 years old and they are my favs. Friendliest let me pick them up. Can't imagine if I would of gotten them younger. If you spend alot of time with them they will really love you Ha! or maybe its the treats you give them.
