Ty will try that I am glad someone else found hens the same as I got she is such a sweet heart and I just love the heck out of her .. her beak seems to be growing back yay so we will see. ty all for the information.I have just started with chickens this year and have bought some from Dunlap as chicks. It is true that they don't debeak their chicks, but for their stock poultry (the ones they keep to produce their eggs) are debeaked. I recently bought some from Dunlap as they sell their adult hens, breeding stock, in the middle of May this year. I had asked for a red sex-link, and the girl that helped me there told me they have a white sex link this year. I got one of them and she is absolutely wonderful. They did tell me she was a "white sex-link." It is very probable the gentleman too heard the same information as I did when I bought my 12-15 month old breeding hens from them. My hen was debeaked, but she has had no problems eating and foraging for bugs or other treats, sometimes it just takes her a little longer to get them.
Lady Orchid - I am sure if you call them with questions about how the white sex link came to be they can tell you the genetics of it as someone else might use a different name for the chicken.
