Meet Our Animals: Mando
Hello! My name is Mando (after the Mandalorian) and I am a Black Sex-Link Chicken. You may think I’m all black in color, but when the sunlight hits just right, my feathers shimmer in shades of purple, blue, and green! I share my coop with a Silkie Chicken named Nugget.
Weight: 7 pounds
Color: Black with purple, blue and green shimmer
Sex-link Chickens:
- Are a result of crossing a barred hen with a non-barred rooster. A common cross is a Barred Plymouth Rock hen mated with a Rhode Island Red or New Hampshire rooster.
- Are great layers!
- Sex-link chicks that are female are solid black and the males are black with a white dot on their heads.
