this is our first time too. we have 3 red stars, 2 SS's 2 Leghorns and one who we think might be a leghorn. all are almost 3 weeks except for one in almost 2 weeks. We lost one of our red stars Easter morning. had 2 cases of pasty butt. But i have added AVC and electrolyte/vitamin mix in with their water and everyone has being doing fantastic! I'm not sure when they start laying? 20 weeks? I dont expect my first egg to be until late Aug- Sept.

The leghorns can start laying as soon as 16 weeks. Just watch for that comb to real red. It probably won't be as big as will eventually get once they start laying, but by a year they will have a nice long comb..unless you have a rose comb girl of course.

How big are your red sex link eggs. I got some and they were as big as some of my turkey eggs. Only 6 would fit (sometimes 5) per row in the bator instead of the normal 7

Could i have pictures of red sex link eggs compared to normal eggs?

 

[amylynn]

is this a sex link i have?

To put it plainly, no. These are red sex links. You're chicken could be a hybrid, but it certainly is not a RSL.
