Hi, I'm just in the process of picking up a couple of pullets for sex link chicks with a black australorp.
Any advice would be helpful. Am I looking for more of a utility strain, and focus on a healthy bird with maximum eggs per week? Or would I be looking for pure bred girls that meet that standards as much as possible? Just checking what the best approach is, as most of the Plymouth rocks here seem to be utility.
Also choosing between Cream Legbars and Plymouth Rocks. Would either be easier to sex or make offspring that are better backyard layers?
