Great layers and easy to raise

These chicks arrived healthy and full of energy. They settled into the brooder quickly and started eating and drinking right away. I’ve raised Red **** Links before and they’re one of the best breeds for egg production, so I went with them again. They’re hardy, friendly, and grow fast. Really happy with this batch and would order again.

Thank you for the review! We agree that they are great layers and easy to raise. Best of luck with your flock - The Hatching Time Team
