How much of an advantage do the sex link chickens have over say the barred rocks and buff orps, etc. in terms of laying? A lot of people I talk to say that the best layers are the smallish birds without a lot of meat on their bones. This would seem to be a negative to the LARGE barred rocks and buff orps. I always considered those breeds great layers, but do the red and black sex links( stars is another name for these right? ) have an advantage over these breeds?
