Amberlinks in SW Virginia/east TN? (Hens or chicks!)

[Sunshyne276]

Does anyone have any Amberlink (Dekalb Amberlink, aka Amber Star) hens or chicks for sale?

Photos of the breed, in case you have some and call them a different name:

Anyone, anywhere around southwestern Virginia, eastern Tennessee or southern West Virginia have any hens of this breed?

FWIW, amber-links are not a 'breed', they are a cross between 2 breeds/colors that produces chicks that can be sexed at hatch by the color

AKA Red sex-links.

Yes, they are a sexlink hybrid.

A little different than "red sexlinks", though.

See photos:

Mostly red, with some white mixed in..

Mostly white, with some amber speckling..

If you have a Tractor Supply Company near you they may be carrying them this spring. I got mine there last spring and love them. They came from MT.Healthy in Ohio. I think.

Yes, I got one last year from Tractor Supply, out of the assorted bin. Sadly, I have since lost her.

This year, I keep checking, and they are continuously sold out it seems!
I've asked if they are getting any Amberlinks in, and they don't know what they will be getting.
I keep checking, though! Thanks for the reply..
