Title: Silver Amber Link
Post by: cammi on April 14, 2011, 22:40

I know these question get asked all the time so i apologise, I've googled silver amber link and got all confused with amber link, silver links etc etc

I feel in love with one last week at a garden center, but trying to find out what colour eggs they lay, their site is very informative

Im sure someone will have and be able to tell me

thanks

Amberlinks lay a brown egg, the same colour as the other ordinary brown hybrids.  I've never heard of a silver Amberlink, but different places give them different names.

£32.00 for a hybrid cockerel *faint* someone's laughing all the way to the bank!

I hadn't looked at the link last night, £32.00 for a hybrid cockerel?  wow, and just think of the cockerals, mainly pure breeds that we've re-homed or culled!   :( :(

Fond this link last night.  they are north yorkshire, but at least their prices are a bit more reasonable!

I'm not allowed to sell on here, and unfortunately I don't have any Amberlinks at the moment, but we don't fleece people like that!

Sean at Outgate also sells them occasionally, he is a very nice man, not met him yet, but spoken to him loads on the phone!

I think my 3 amberlinks cost somewhere in the region of £5 or £6 each from a super lady who lives just down the road from me  ;)  :lol:
