Red sex-links and black sex-links?

[micahdanielr]

Does anybody know if red sex-links and black sex-links lay the same large brown eggs? Or do they lay differently? The hatchery with the red sex links are all sold out but they have the black ones so I am just wondering if they are the same?

Yeah they lay the same color and about the same size!

About the same?

I have a 4 year old Golden Comet (red-sex-Links) I had 5.
Mine laid XL to Jumbo plus.
I never had Black sex-links but they lay brown eggs of large size and bigger, and they lay slightly less quantity than Red sex-links.
I lost 3 of my Golden Comets to egg bound. I believe it was because of the Jumbo and larger eggs they laid. GC

So you're saying sex links chickens will all lay brown eggs? :O Wow. I didn't know this. Very interesting.

The agriculture tags at the store for the black sex linked chicks also said cold and heat resistant more than some of the other breeds.

Sorry to hear that!! My red sex-links also laid XL eggs but I didn't know if there was a difference between the two. Thanks for the Info. I think I'll just wait till they have the red sex-links available
