The Hoover's Hatchery Live Black Sex-Link Baby Chicks are excellent brown egg layers created by crossing a Barred Rock hen and a Rhode Island Red cockerel. This creates a very versatile bird that is a great egg layer, has the temperament of a Barred Plymouth Rock and can hold its own through the cold-dark winter. These sweet, friendly chickens tolerate heat and cold weather well. Black sex-link chickens also do well in confinement and are great foragers. Whether putting together your first backyard coop or you're already a seasoned chicken caretaker, these black sex-link chicks are a great choice.

Male marking on head
4 years ago
Chicks grow to have a great disposition. I bought them from a local Tractor Supply I only wanted 4 pullets but ended up with only one despite the fact that this breed is very easily sexed due to the males having a white dot on top of their heads. I didn't do my homework and the salesperson obviously didn't know that the white dot on the head meant male chick when it comes to Black Sex Link chicks. turn out to be very nice-looking roosters though. Another thing is my only Black Sex link hen was the first to start laying at 17 weeks. I have cinnamon Queens, Isa Brown, Rhode Island Reds, California whites, and White Leghorns
I hope this will help someone else out.

WAIT!
5 years ago
Folks, do not order chicks online this way! 4 out of 10- dead on arrival... Yeah, I get it, bound to happen, but they were literally crushed in the bottom of the delivery box...Sad that this is how we treat creatures... Absolutely no care whatsoever... One died at home, so that is 50% of the birds if you are counting at home! Did I mention that the delivery did not even commence until 2 weeks after the order? Trust me, I get that to, with the pandemic and delivery drivers working like crazy... Just notify the buyer, it's literally that simple! Just don't do it... Wait until they were at a local store or a local farmer. I will absolutely never support this kind of business again... Definitely learned my lesson...btw, I do have pictures but do not feel it is appropriate to attach them here.

Horrible hatchery
a year ago
All arrived dead, never notified when shipped, didn’t update shipping info until after delivered. Called and left messages and emailed after ordering to get info on shipping and vaccination- told I’d get a reply in 72hrs. Never got call or email. Tractor supply would do nothing, said hatchery had to issue refund. After weeks of calling, hatchery also did not reply to tractor supply so I filed claim with credit card.

I have had these for 6 months now. This is a docile breed so far. On arrival 1 died within first day. A refund was given for the 1. I had a second one at 4 months just stop walking. We nursed it but never got better, didn't seem sick still ate and alert just would walk. Tried vitamin supplements, stretching its legs out but nothing. No problem from the rest. We have 8 out of 10 ordered. Color is darker than picture. Hardly any of the red on them.

Disappointing
3 years ago
First time TS has failed for me with ordering chicks. 1 was DOA. I Raised the nine for 10 weeks then shared 5 with a friend to start her flock. Out of the 4 that I kept, 3 are Roosters, I ordered 10 females and ended with 1 hen. And now the Roo's will have to be terminated because I already have a rooster. Sad. They are beautiful chickens wish I had gotten more from all my expense and work.
