Red Sexlinks.
Same thing as Golden Comets, Red stars, ISA Browns, and Production Reds.

They’re probably ISA Browns. I live in MA too and the only red sex links I have ever seen at our TSC have been ISA Browns. Although of course I don’t know what the other stores carry or if it’s like that in the whole state or whatever.

Sex link chickens are a hybrid variety that are sexable at hatch based on their feather color. The two main kinds are red sex links and black sex links and they go by a lot of names like Cinnamon Queen, ISA Brown, Golden Comet, Golden Buff, Red Star, etc. etc.

Production Reds aren’t feather sexable so not quite the same.
