ooh ok, so that is what they mean by "production red"??? I have seen that before.

Thanks for the info! But even someone who replied saying it was a production red called it a production red rooster. I guess we'll see.

When I bought them, I asked what they were and they said RRI (course they also said they were pullets and that is debatable now!), but are they technically production reds?

I just looked them up and red all of the following: they can be mean/bossy/tempermental/foul disposition/tore up other hens.. yup. I really love my sweet gentle RSL's... let's just say that I would miss the RSL's a lot more if they were the ones that ended up being boys!!!!

At what age do RIR get the saddle feathers or something that would determine gender? They will only be 7 1/2 weeks.

(I keep editing as I think of more! lol)

production reds are RIR Comets, NHR or any of the before mentioned chickens, there can even be Leg Horns thrown into the mix., creating the various color sex linked chicks. sex linked is when one barred rooster is used and the hen is of a different breed,.
not knowing whats behind making the chicken from a hatchery there is no definate way you can claim the combs are too red or wattles too red on a chick, until it does one ofd 2 things, crows or lays an egg.

Is anyone looking for a rooster?

I have 2 pure BC Maran roos.

I have 2+ blue cochin roos. I have a frizzled cochin roo.

I have a moltted java Roo.
1 split Lav ameraucauna roo
I also have a blue red cochin roo - I recently found out that there really is a name for this (I thought he was a mutt) Like lemon blue but red instead...hmmm who knew

These are going to be beautiful boys and I hate to sell them for meat if someone needs any for a breeding project or a flock roo. I may be going to the Chichester, NH swap on 6/26.

Hey folks, turns out I have a previous engagement this weekend, so I won't be making it on Sunday...

In other news, does anyone know if there are any more shows between now and the next Poultry Expo in November? Also, any of you seasoned show-goers have any tips for me? I want to get some practice with the whole showing thing...

Thanks!
