BYC rocks! I've been wondering what kind of chickens I got at TSC this year. This answers it, I have 3 Amber links.

Thanks!!!

She is pretty!

I have 1 from TSC thats just about 3 months old and is now getting some darker color in her feathers. She's been mostly white til a week or so ago. She is a sweety though, wish I had gotten more of them. I picked her specifically because she was an Amberlink and I hadn't heard much about them.

This is practically a year later, but her eggs were dark brown and slightly smaller than large. She was decapitated by a hawk last winter but I have 4 more amberlinks in my basement now.

What a shame to know a hawk got her. I have 4 AmberLinks in the brooder that are about 7-8 weeks old, and their speckling is just coming in. They are flighty with us right now but I hope they will tame down with age.

So I am taking it that after or close to 8 weeks my white pullet will be a dirty pullet? I was wondering if they were going to get a hint of brown or not.

Looks close to what I have from TSC. But they are all white as of now. Not sure if they will change or not.
