Production reds are sexlink birds bred for high egg production, they typically die from reproduction issues by age 3, unfortunately. Sex links are created by breeding opposite color parents together, the girls look like the sire and the males will look like the dam. I.E Barred x red, white x red, since they are red sex link, the boys will be lighter than the girls, like your little cockerel there and his comb gives him away too.Can you elaborate on production reds please? And are you saying the one in the pic is a rooster? If so how can you tell at 4 weeks? Thsnk you for your response.
