Fagita chicks - anyone else have them?

[GardenGal]

Finally got my chicks! Two sussex, two barred rock, and two bonus, fagitas. The couple said they are a RR crossed with something else to improve their personality. They are 5 weeks old and the other chicks are 3 weeks, and I'm impressed with how tolerant they are of the babies. I've tried to Google them and all I get is fajita recipes! Anyone here know about them?

Ive never heard of them, there probably not a reg. breed. just a cross. Which I think are the best anyway! Are they birds the couple you got them from, raising and breeding there own. Maybe they just gave them the name.

We inherited them from a couple who were unable to keep them, and they got them from some serious chicken enthusiasts who mentioned the name like it was common. Once I figure out how in the world to post pictures I'll put some up. Thanks!

I don't recall the name, interested to see.

God bless,

Not a great picture, they're still a little shy

Never heard of them. Thought I read fajita and got hungry though.

A lot of sex links have different names from different hatcheries.

There very nice looking babies but I still have no Idea, maybe some of the breed experts can come and give you some good Ideas of what the mix is?

Look like production reds, also known as cherry eggers, bovine reds, and a few other names I can't think of right now.
Cuties! Will probably be great layers.

More than likely they are as JulieNKC said- production reds, or red sex links, which are hybrids. I have black sex links, which are sold under a few names such as Black Star. A lot of places name their hybrids something different to make them sound, well, different, or more attractive. Don't get me wrong- your birds are lovely and I adore my own hybrids. They are friendly, curious, and good layers.
