Red sexlinks. Nasty temperaments---like leghorns, but dumb and mean---they die like flies, they eat too much to make an efficient bird for my uses, and their eggs have more meatspots than the Leghorns. Wouldn't own them again. Of course, this just goes for the sexlinks available here. I know some others love them, so... <<shrugs>> They've certainly got a place. It just isn't here. I have had over 20 different breeds and varieties and only a few passed my strict standards.
Same here, I don't buy Red Sex Links, they give me same and other problems, They were bred for commercial production in battery farms I guess. I like Leghorns but Buff Orpingtons get broody so often and they are heavy on feed.By far Red Sex Links were the breed that gave me the worst problems. They always seemed to get some kind of ailment, or behavior issues. I know where I live that most of these come from the same hatchery, and that may have something to do with it but I just stopped purchasing this type of bird. I stay away from RIR too because I had some get nasty on me. Barnvelders, Polish, and some bantams are skittish. My favorite still is the Barred Rock, Buff Orpington, and White Leghorn, but thats just me.
I totally agree with that!I mean I'd love them because it isn't their fault, but I wouldn't perpetuate the breed. lol
I've had a very different experience with my sexlinks and leghorns! Just goes to show how much varies bird to bird.Red sexlinks.
