Golden Sex Link

Our sex links also eat like pigs. I think it's a trait of the breed. So long as it doesn't get stuck she should be fine... though your wallet might take a hit! I agree with everything you've posted. Hope she's a good layer like ours!

I have to agree, We got one by chance, never been handled much and almost 1 y. We call her the PITA chicken because you cant do anything without her in the way or flying up to your shoulder. We love love love this gal.

Can anyone tell me if they've ordered from Cackle Hatchery, especially any Rhode Island Reds or Golden Comets, Buff Orpingtons, White Rocks, Barred Rocks, Wyandottes, or Easter Eggers? I got a batch of Black Australorps from Chickens from Backyards (which has great service) that are extremely skidish and unfriendly. Also, if I get any new breeds again, I want to try to make sure that are somewhat friendly, fairly docile and/or at least will fit well in a mixed flock without much aggression (allowing for a normal pecking order of course) and be easy to handle.

I have 1 Golden Comet I got as a chick in April 2017. She has turned out to be one of my favorites. She is friendly, does well with other birds, and lays well so far (just started recently). I can't figure out if hers is the super dark egg though or the barred rocks (or maybe the young Easter Eggers...but don't think that one lays yet). I have one Marans but she is older and lays bigger, lighter, eggs...so it's not her. Any ideas?

We have a Golden Sex Link named Apple-Crisp, She is very friendly, and is always the first one to run up the steps to the back door. She lays a peanut butter colored egg.

Our Golden Sex Link lays a peanut butter colored egg, sometimes it has speckles on it but usually it is just the color of peanut butter. my Barred Rock lays a chalky, light beige egg that is usually covered in speckles of calcium. Our Barred Rock's egg is also a bit bigger than our Golden Sex Link's egg even though they are basically the same age. I hope that this helps you figure out which egg is from your Golden Sex Link.

I have 3 and they are super friendly. So Love them!

I have about 30 gls they are the best chickens I have ever had will incubate more
