Bovan Red Sex-links are a commercial grade egg layers which provide high peak production, and great laying persistency under all kinds of conditions. These birds are versatile and hearty for indoor, outdoor, and free-range applications. They are also known for there great feed conversion ratio meaning that they maximize egg production while minimizing feed consumption.
Our birds are reddish-brown in color with a white undercoat, they are also very calm and quiet birds. The Bovan Sex-link will produce large brown eggs and can lay throughout the year.
Our chicks are sourced from a major commercial hatchery, not backyard hatched to ensure our birds are the highest quality. Coming from the hatchery they are vaccinated against all common chicken diseases, and have been infrared beak trimmed. If you are concerned about the beak trimming be aware that this not the same as chicken debeaking. Beak trimming only removes the very tip of the beak leaving a rounded profile unlike the old hot knife method which leaves the birds with a major over and under bite. Beak trimming results in better heath of the flock over there lifetime as it reduces the stress caused by feather picking while not impacting the hens ability to eat or forage in a free range environment.
