Has anyone bred their generic brown laying hybrid hen with a generic "brown laying" hybrid rooster?

This website link above seems to say that Production Reds are a true breed in which case they would breed more of their own kind. If I had these birds, I would know what they're going to look like when bred.
I think you thought, as I did at first, that Production Reds are a hybrid. The link I posted says they are a true breed. So that's cleared up, unless the website is wrong, then so am I.

To clear up why there was a little confusion, Production reds are a 'true breed' in the sense that they produce offspring that is the same as the previous generation. However, they are sometimes a hybrid in the same way an Easter Egger is, in the fact that some hatcheries produce them by using multiple breeds and they do not have a SOP. Though some hatcheries use solely RIR blood to produce them. Because there is no Standard of Perfection, any hatchery can label any red bird a "Production Red."
Your "brown hybrid layers" can always be called "Red Sex-linked Chickens" because they are easy to sex at hatching by their down color. This includes Red Stars, Golden Comets, Cinnamon Queens, Golden Buffs, and any other names that Red Sex-linked Chickens are marketed under.
Hope that clears things up for you.

I have the pictures you're looking for but why would I dig them up for someone acting like this? Good luck waiting a whole 6 days.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!! Petty.

Well, you're the one who didn't clarify that your "generic brown laying hybrids" were Red Sexlinks. There are lots of brown hybrid chickens out there, not just the sex linked type.
You were rude when someone didn't understand because you used the wrong terminology.
Furthermore, you only have 8 posts. You can't be calling any one else on the forum "Petty."
What you're going to get will be brownish red and white mutts. Have fun.

In my case, I know for certain that my hens are all hybrid brown layers, but I don't know which kind since I know they can come with different copyrighted names from different hatcheries and, so I thought, slightly different parents. Different sources say different things about the parentage of brown egg laying hybrids. The farm store can't tell me what they are and I have yet to contact the hatchery. The rooster got dumped on me because the guy who ordered him from the same farm store realized that he lives in the city where he shouldn't have a rooster....no kidding.

If I didn't say from the get-go that I have hybrids, I'm sorry about that, but I am sure I did. I'm also sure I said that I know that they will not be distinguishable male and female upon hatching. I also stated that I already know that they will not breed true. The reason I stated a long list of all the things I already know in my original question is that these question and answer posts always give you answers you already know or assumptions without knowing the real answers. I was trying to avoid that, and it didn't work.

I have 6 days left until my chicks hatch from my incubator, and who knows how long until they feather out and I can see what they will look like. When that happens (cross my fingers because this is the first hatch I ever do), I will post pics of my own and then the next person looking for pics of chickens from hybrid laying brown hens and their male counterpart will have some.

Whether or not Production Reds are hybrids is a debated issue among chicken enthusiasts. Production Reds are produced by crossing red gene roosters (they could be RIRs, HNs, or PRs) with red gene hens (again they could be RIRs, NHs, or PRs). Because two different breeds are often involved (RIRs and NHs) some chicken enthusiasts label PRs as hybrids. However, because PRs breed true (in the sense that all of the offspring are red gene birds that look basically the same as the parents), other chicken enthusiasts label PRs as a true breed (although not an APA recognized breed). The reality with regard to the many hatcheries that breed PRs is that there is very little or no difference between their PRs, RIRs, and NHs. Hatcheries are more concerned about high egg production than they are preserving the standard of perfection. If the offspring of their PRs is of a darker red shade (more toward mahogany), these hatcheries usually market them as RIRs. If the offspring of their PRs is of a lighter shade (more toward chestnut), they market them as HNs. If the offspring of their PRs is of a red shade somewhere down the middle or very uneven, they market them as PRs. So whether or not PRs are a hybrid or a true breed (unofficially) will continue to be debated, but PRs do breed true in the sense that their chicks are red gene birds that basically look just like their parents.
