The Golden Comet chicken is one of the more recent hybrid chickens that has been bred for great egg production.  It was initially ‘made’ for the commercial industry, but it has successfully transitioned into small far. 
The Golden Comet is a sex-linked chicken. A sex link is not a ‘breed’ in the true sense of the word. It is a cross-breed or ‘hybrid’ chicken. This is an important distinction, as you will see.  If you mate a pure breed chicken with its’ own kind, the chicks will look the same as their parents.  A sex link chicken is a sex-able bird at hatching; that means it’s easy to tell the males from the females.ms and backyards worldwide and is possibly the most widely kept hybrid hen.  ***Also Available As An Assortment.  See Standard Breed Assortment"
