Most Isa browns are more of a red color with white flecking in their hackles, tails and sometimes their wings.

Not ISA Browns. The ISA is actually more brownish in coloration than many Red Sex Links. Thus, the name I guess. My favorite breed for the egg business side of things. Last edited: May 19, 2012
