Are Productions Reds the same as Red Sex Links...

...or are they a different breed/hybrid?

Thanks.

They are different. Production reds are hatchery-type RIRs. A few people use the term to refer to hatchery New Hampshires, but that usage is less common. Sex-links are cross-bred so that they can be sexed by color at hatch.

Here's feathersite's page on sex-links for more info:
