Amberlink Hatching Eggs

Amberlink

The Amberlink is a hardy, high-producing hybrid layer known for its calm temperament and reliable performance. Developed by crossing white egg–laying lines such as the White Layers with select brown egg breeds, Amberlinks combine excellent productivity with an easygoing disposition—making them a favorite for backyard and small farm flocks.

• Purpose: Egg production

• Egg Color: Brown

• Egg Size: Large

• Production: 250–300+ eggs per year

  • Hens: 4–5 lbs

  • Roosters: Typically not sold (sex-linked pullets)

Amberlinks typically begin laying around 16–18 weeks of age and quickly settle into a steady production cycle. They are valued for their consistency and efficiency, producing a plentiful supply of large brown eggs for the nest box.

As a sex-linked hybrid, Amberlink chicks can often be identified by color at hatch, allowing hatcheries to offer accurate pullets. This makes flock planning easier and more efficient for customers.

With their mostly white plumage accented by soft amber or golden highlights, Amberlinks are attractive additions to any flock. They are active but not flighty, adapt well to confinement or free-range environments, and are known for integrating smoothly into mixed flocks.
