Black Sex Link Thread

[Michael OShay]

I was wondering if anyone at BYC has started a Black Sex Link thread? The best chickens I've ever had are Black Sex Links (also known as Black Stars or Bovens Nera). They are very friendly, docile, and great layers of large, brown eggs, even in cold, winter weather.

Wow! She's pretty! I love how she's has a ton of red on her!

I agree. Ive had many of them and I've never had one with that much red on the body.

She's a nice looking pullet. I'm sure she'll give you many eggs. Mine always have.

Thanks! She's very friendly and I love her! Those pics are old. She's about 4 weeks old now.
Chickens usually start laying at 5 months right?
