What breed is this?

Okay, I know this is a weird question, but is there a difference between a sex-link and a red star. A red star is a sex-linked chicken right? Does she look like a red star? When I got her they said she was a golden sex-link.

She looks like a red sex-link to me. Red Star is just another name for that; they're the same thing :) And I think the term gold sex-link can be used interchangeably with the red. Someone with more experience feel free to correct me on that last part if I'm wrong.

a gold sexlink is just a light version of a red sexlink, usually using a buff rooster. There are also some hatcheries that sell "brown sexlinks", same thing, just using different parent breeds.

 

Your hen is a Sexlink, hatcheries have named theirs red stars, cinnamon queens, ISA browns, etc.

Yeah, that's what I was asking. I was wondering if a red sex-link and red star are the same thing or not. 'cause what I've seen makes it look like they are the same breed. Thanks :D

you can think of "Red Star" as a brand name, she is a red sexlink. wink.png
