We have finally found the sex link BROWN EGG LAYER that meets our strict specifications; easy to raise, lays large brown eggs, and has a good feed conversion ratio. A "sex-link" chicken is one, which at time of hatch, can be sexed by its color. RED STAR: These hens will mature with feathers that are reddish brown with flecks of white throughout. The males are all white with nice yellow skin.
(They will not retain the same characteristics in future generations.)
At approximately 22 weeks these hens will start to lay and lay they will. We're sure this hardy bird will become a favorite of yours as it lays eggs right through hot or cold weather. No wonder it's called the Red Star.
As a reminder, to help ensure a safe arrival to you, the minimum number of chicks for each order prior to April 1st is 25.
On and after April 1st, the minimum number of chicks required is 15. You can mix and match any type of baby chick in your order to reach the applicable chick minimum order. If ordering any bantams, we require a minimum of 15 bantams per order.

Will the eggs remain small? I'm at week 15 and eggs are real small.
Yes, all hens will lay small eggs when just beginning to lay - hence, the term "pullet eggs". As they get used to their new egg laying process, the egg size increases. :)
are your chicks given an immunization for marek's before being shipped. Sorry if this is a stupid question but i have been doing research and shopping around and your prices are unbeatable but there was no mention as far as immunizations goes
We offer 2 vaccinations during the checkout process on our website. The Marek's Disease and Coccidiosis vaccinations are available for chick orders. The cost for each vaccination per chick is 20 cents each.
How do tell the sex
The female baby chicks are reddish orange, and the males are white.
