Production Reviews

Nugget is my chicken....follows me around, always hoping for snacks, wants to see what you're up to ...but it's really about the snacks.   She was raised in a small pen with lots of other chicks then free-ranged on 10 acres until I acquired her.  Yet she loves people - especially the 'bringers of snacks'!  My skinny Nugget lays the biggest eggs of all my girls every day.  She's a chatty cathy....UHOH is a normal Nugget phrase.

This was a good beginner breed for me. The problem was I would only get egg production till the age of one year and then they would drop dead from heart failure. Because of this breed I have gained interest into the heritage breeds. They have a longer life span and lay eggs for more years. They lay themselves to death.

I got 2 girls when they were just a few days old, had one named rose and one named lola.. They were the sweetest things ever, Rose loved jumping on my lap and she loved talking to me.. 

I have one. She's not as flightly as her BFF, a Red Star, but she's friendlier than the black stars and our white leghorn! They're really sweet, and great layers! A must have!

i have one named Mabel who is very loving and loves to eat and peck my toes.

I love this hen!!! Well, i love all hens but production reds are just so beautiful. I love how mine acts as mamma bird!!! It is adorable.

My girl is very friendly. She loves people. She is laying right now through a horrible molt! They really have their reasons when naming them 'Production' Reds.

These were the first 2 hens we acquired. We still have them and they are still laying. One was found to have a slipped tendon when we got home from the breeder but the kids were already smitten... Even that gimpy hen is still laying and healthy. The other one is the flock boss. Both are tame and will sit in your lap, but do not like to be picked up. Neither has ever gone broody

This is the bird that most people get when the purchase Rhode Island Reds from hatcheries or the local feed store. Great birds for the back yard flock. Attractive and amazing layers of ex large brown eggs. Friendly and totally unafraid of humans. Some can be a little aggressive to other birds but I have never had a problem with them. Mine are right at the top of the pecking order.

Both girls are very sweet! Good layers! I get about 5 eggs a week from each.
