The Amber Star is a fantastic chicken is all senses, she is a Rhode Island Red based Hybrid chicken. The Amber Star's feathering is very soft, Amber Star's have a very placid nature and make ideal pet chickens. Eggs, well the Amber Star lives up to the star part of her name laying up to 320 eggs in her first laying year!

Friendliest chicken breed EVER
Pros: Super smart, kind, lovable, fantastic layers
Cons: Just a bit sassy to new chickens; lets just say she wasn't the most welcome.
I once had an Amberlink, I have no clue if it's the same as an Amber Star hybrid, but anyway, she was the sweetest girl ever, hopped up on my chair outside for treats. Very very smart, let me just say, however if I can recall she could be kinda sassy to the other chickens. Not really mean exactly, just not the nicest. Her name was Lucille. Lucille laid very pretty medium brown eggs if I can recall. I think she died of congestive heart failure. :(

Pros: Friendly, good egg layers, strong, disease resistant
Cons: Tend to go broody often (this could be a positve attribute to others).
Bought 4 of these at local feed store last year. Bought 4 or 5 other breeds as well. Lost many of my pullets due to rounds of fowl pox, coccidiosis and roundworms. All of the amberlinks made it through all of that. This year they are laying beautiful brown eggs. The only issue I've had with them is that they all went broody....at the same time! Other than that, they are very friendly and good natured. W

How did you break the broodiness?? I have had one broody for 3 weeks bow and ive tried everything, yesterday another started, and now today one of my browns has started. I got 9 new leghorns this week too and i need the eggs!!!

Pros: Smart, Friendly
Cons: None!
I just got two this past week, and they are very great, even as chicks. This is the second time I've had chickens, and I hope the flock back up and running. I would recommend these to anyone who wants to spend time with their little babies. A friend and I have chosen the name's "Mariah" and "Daryl" :D

the Amber Whites look almost similar to these
as long as Amber whites are RIR and Leghorn Crosses then you have an Amber Star

I love stories with happy endings. Glad your Nellie came home and is well. Sounds like a breed I'd like to try especially being a beginner :)

Stars and sexlinks are two different names that refer to the same type of breed. So, I'm wondering, is there a difference between a red sexlink, a gold sexlink, and as yours would also be an amber sexlink? I have what is called a gold sexlink, but one of mine looks more like a red, so I'm wondering if there's a difference. The red sexlink is a cross between a Rhode Island Red cock, and a White Leghorn female, so I'm wondering if that the varieties I mentioned above are just different names or the gold and amber are crosses between different ones, perhaps a Buff Orpington or Rock and a White Leghorn? Wondered if you might know.

I'm not very well educated in chicken breeding to create breeds, but I'm going to try to educate myself on that. I believe that a Red, Gold, and Amber Sexlink are all just the same breed. Mine also look much more red than the picture, but every chicken is different. I still firmly believe they are this breed, despite being more red. I wish I could offer more help as to what breeds are crossed to produce this breed, but I will try to research it.

Thanks for your review. So glad to hear your girl survived and made her way back home.

That pic is not one of my hens as the pic was already populated. But yes, they are very lovely;). Mine are much more white. They look like a heavy set leghorn. But not as heavy as a cross rock.

I thought I had an Amber star but I'm thinking it looks more like a red star... What do you think? 20weeks old.
