Our Black Sex-Links are as good of layers as our leghorns. They also have a very good temperament. They are great to have if you have kids. And the eggs will be large and brown.
Our best pure breed layers are our White Leghorns at 5 each a week. Our best layer is our Leghorn X Black Sex-Link cross that come out looking like a White Rock and they are on day 45 of laying every day. We have 4 of them laying now and 2 more just starting and growing 6 more.
