Red Sex Link
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Red Sex Links or RSL are poultry whose sex can be easily determined upon hatching. The Red Sex Link female is a buff or red chick while the males are completely white.
RSL hens mature to one of three different colorations:
-
- Buff with white or tinted undercolor (such as Golden Comet, Rhode Island Red crossed with Rhode Island White)
- Red with White or tinted undercolor (Cinnamon Queen)
- Red with Red undercolor (Delaware crossed with Production Red). In this color pattern it is almost impossible to distinguish daughters' color from father's color.
Roosters mature to white with gold, red and/or black saddle, neck and wing feathers. Both have yellow legs and horn colored beaks.
RSL are a cross between a Rhode Island Red or New Hampshire Red rooster and a White Rock, Silver Laced Wyandotte, Rhode Island White or Delaware hen.
RSL are also referred to as Red Stars and lay brown eggs.
