You're welcome. "Red" is not a Production Red, which is a cross between two red gene parents. Her white underfluff and the white feathers in her tail mark her out as a Red Sex Link (PRs don't have those white tail feathers). Red Sex Links are produced by crossing a red gene rooster with a silver gene hen. Not only can the resulting offspring be sexed by color from hatching, but they are egg laying machines, outlaying either parent breed. It's one of the interesting quirks of hybridization. )

Thank you much for that information!
