You're welcome. Bovans Brown is one of many labels under which some hatcheries market their Red Sex Links, which are produced by crossing a red gene rooster with a silver gene hen. The resulting offspring can be sexed by color from hatching (male chicks are whitish, female chicks are reddish brown) and are egg laying machines, outlaying either parent breed. It's one of the interesting quirks of hybridization. You are going to get loads of large, brown eggs from those girls. Good luck with your Bovans Browns.
