Four Adopted Chickens

[Gold Coaster]

Wow! There is a new general consensus. Black Stars and Red Stars! Thanks Stephanie1992, CochinBrahmaLover, Gvnam and FatTom for your suggestions!

I just knew I would find my answers here, because nobody knows better than owners who have kept different breeds of chickens for years on end. Thanks again.

Cheers,

FYI: ISA Browns are red sexlinks. Each hatchery has their own "brand/strain" of sexlink, stars, cinnamon queens, etc. Brown and gold sexlinks are red sexlinks, they just use different breeds so the hens are lighter or darker. Gold sexlinks are usually "made" with a buff rooster.

Thank you for this interesting tidbit Farmerchef. I had no idea that the ISA Brown is basically just another name one can use to refer to a Red Sexlink or a Red Star chicken. So many names makes it a tad confusing, but I'll make a mental note of this for future reference.

Cheers,
