Hello all,
I recently received 12 black sex link pullets from a hatchery.
One of them seems to have a small white spot on the side of her head… is this a cockerel or just a nicely decorated pullet?
See attached 2 pics 4 days apart.
please exscuse the mess, having 5 dogs isnt very glamorous and its cleaning day😝 id like to think that the yellows are silkies (i have 3, all look the same) i think the one with brown face/feathers is a BSL(?) but unsure of the black ones with white chests! i have two of the solid black with...
I read somewhere that this mix creates black sex links, but haven’t been able to find any other information about them. I’ve started hatching eggs recently from my flock and the third “bsl” hatched this morning, they’ve all come out black with patterns and feathered legs, however this third one...

My other 7mo BSL "Rexy" has a very normal big red comb and big wattles and has since she was...
I've already asked this once but the more information I read the more I want to know! I saw a post about 3rd generation Isa Browns being White and sweet and 3rd generation BSL chickens being a form of barred and not very nice but I want to know if anybody's crossed the two? I have one Isa Brown...
Hello everyone, I am new to chickens this year.
I bought Rhode Island Red and Black Sex-Link pullets from local store hoping one would be a rooster, but no luck. What breed would be best rooster for my flock?
