Looks like a production red.

I had two production reds and they are very sweet, and like to sit on my lap. I also have golden laced wyandottes and easter eggers and they fly on me when I'm sitting down.

We got four PR's from a local feed store early April. They are bossy, but confident and do not attack. They are all hens who are already starting to lay big brown eggs. I love these girls, they seem lots smarter than the EE's we have, but are definitely not as "sweet" as our three EE's. These were in a bin labeled Production Reds-pullets so we paid more for these chicks (2.00 a piece)

bottom photo: Lizzie in foreground (she is the lead hen and more "golden" than the other three) with Little Wing and they are both begging for treats from my DH

We spoil them.

These are all Red Sexlinks, not production Reds. Thye mislabeld them.

Oh! Sorry about that, the bin definitely said "production red pullets". These are our first flock and good to know, thank you. This link below shows a picture of a "production red" adult from their hatchery....they look like mine?

I know how they do it, they get a bunch of red chicks in and call them pro reds. My TSC does this also. It's okay with you posting them here though.
I had some Production Red hens that I breed to a (he looked like an EE) 1/2 Naked NEck and 1/2 Easter Egger that was Blue-Taield Red. Got the babies and they are about 9 weeks old.

The TSC near me did the same thing. They labeled one bin PRs and one was labeled Red Pullets. I ended up with a bunch of red chickens and some roosters that look more like RIRs.

Your Red-Sex links sound like mine. I have 4 girls and as soon as I go outside can call the girls they come running. Not a bad feather on their bodies.
