Yea I know they are hybrids but just wanted to see what outcomes others have had.

I have 4 month olds from my girls and my BO rooster as well as my white leghorn. Both roosters have since gone off to freezer camp. I'll post pics when I get on my laptop later.

I have done a lot of experimental breeding with RSL. I have played with several generations. The white gene seemed to be the predominant gene.

There are some 3rd generation RSL offspring in this picture with other chicks (RSL, RIR, RC-RIW).

These are all RSL offspring. The chicks with the female coloring are actually males. You can see how the white gene seems to be the dominant gene.

Quote:

can't wait for mine to get old enough! How old were yours when they began laying?

I also have two black sex link...same age so I'm hoping they will start around the same time..


I have heard that RSL's start laying after about 16 weeks vs. about 5 months for other chickens. The place that I got my RSL's said that they were 16 weeks old when really they were about 3 months old. However when they do start laying, they lay like crazy!

My earliest RSL to lay was at 16 weeks but most were around 20 weeks.
