Both of them are pullets? They're completely differently marked! Just curious, we have never dealt with sex links before.
Hmmm
Rural King did have some sex link chicks at one point - I just loved the coloring on these babies so I got them.
Our "monsters" as we call our oldest adolescents (who are going out tomorrow WOOT) had their first time out today, in a dog crate as I quickly changed out their brooder. (They get stinky really fast at this point)
