California White or What?

[KonekoChan528]

I got chicks from TS, they had labeled a bin for California whites. So I got one and she doesn't look like one right now... I think she might be a Golden Sex Link what do ya'll think?

This is her as a chick




This is her now 6 weeks later.

She looks like a Production Red. I don't see the white underfluff and white feathering in the tail that Red (Golden) Sex Links typically have.

Looks like a Production Red to me, too.

This is my Rode Island Red

And this is my Production Red apparently TS messed up? They don't look the same so thats why I was wondering If my big girl was a Golden sex link.

She does have white under fluff, and some of her feathers are tipped white.

Production Reds are a mix of red gene parents and do not have the uniformly dark red coloring that true Rhode Island Reds possess. In addition, they sometimes have some white tips in their feathering which is a result of White Leghorn that was infused at some point into their ancestry to increase egg production. Red (Golden) Sex Links typically have a much more profusion of white feathers in their tails that your bird does as you can see in the picture of the Golden Sex Link below.

Definitely a Production Red pullet.
