Black Sexlink Chicks - Premium Dual-Purpose Chickens

Black Sexlink chickens, sometimes known as a Black Star, were developed in the 1950s by crossing a New Hampshire Red rooster with a Barred Plymouth Rock hen. This hybrid breed was designed for efficient brown egg production and easy sexing—chicks can be sexed by feather color at hatch, making them an ideal choice for those looking to expand their egg-laying flock quickly.

Black Stars are a dual-purpose breed, excelling at both egg production and meat. Hens begin laying at around 20 weeks of age, producing 285+ large brown eggs per year. The hens have striking black plumage with shimmery green undertones and may feature mahogany or golden highlights around the hackles and breast.

Males grow to a mature weight of 8 lbs and can be harvested for meat, while females reach around 6 lbs. This hardy breed is well-suited to both warm climates, like Arizona, and colder regions, making it perfect for backyard farms, homesteads, or urban settings.

Key Features:

  • Egg Production: 285+ large brown eggs per year
  • Dual-Purpose: Ideal for both egg laying and meat production
  • Maturity: Hens start laying at 20 weeks, males are ready for harvest
  • Heat Tolerance: Performs well in warm climates
  • Cold Hardy: Suitable for colder regions as well
  • Temperament: Docile and easy to handle, perfect for any flock
  • Appearance: Mostly black feathers with green shimmer, occasional mahogany accents

Whether you're looking for a productive egg layer or a solid meat bird, Black Sexlink chicks will meet your needs. Add these versatile birds to your flock and enjoy the benefits of reliable egg production and sustainable meat sources.

Breed Info & FAQ
Fluffy white chick on a white background

Are there any upgrades or add-ons that make chick raising easier?

Most first-time and Arizona customers do best when they add a starter bundle that includes high-protein feed, chick grit, electrolytes or probiotics, and a simple supplement plan, plus an extended warranty if they want extra protection. These pieces together dramatically increase early survival and growth, and they save you from multiple store trips in the first week.

Are you responsible for USPS delays?

We hand off healthy, properly packed birds and eggs on our normal schedule, but transit timing is controlled by USPS, so delivery speed itself is not guaranteed and is outside our direct control. Our guarantees focus on condition on arrival and clear documentation of any losses, not on whether the box was delayed a day in the postal network.

Can I add an extended warranty after placing my order?

Yes, extended coverage such as GritShieldâ„¢ can usually be added as long as your birds have not shipped yet, so contact support promptly if you decide you want extra protection. Once birds are in transit, new warranty add-ons are limited availability.
