production breeds

Hello i am caroline sharing a profile with my sister Allison.

I'm not sure what kind of breeds are production breeds? Can anyone type the name of some of the production breeds that they know of?

Thanks

Hi Caroline and Allison! It's nice to see some younger member participating on the forum. A few common names that I know of for production reds are: Golden Buffs, Cinnimon Queens, and Golden Comets, and there are many more. Some are simply called "red sex links", as that is exactly what they are. Most are a small size hen, with redish color feathers on the body, and typically some white on the tail.

Here is a picture of mine.

Not a great picture, but gives you an idea of what they look like.

The most common known production "breed" is the Production Red then there are the Sex-Links that can come in Black or Red.
I will say that most breeds that you will get from a hatchery can be considered a "Production Breed" because they bred more for productivity and quantity rather than quality...
