She looks like a New Hampshire Red to me also but if she is a Sex-Link, she could be a cross of a Rhode Island Red or New Hampshire Red male and a Delaware female. MY RIR/Del cross looked like her.

She is a feed store chick. My husband came home with 5 barred rock and 6 of these ladies. Some have the black, and some have white. I just got my first 2 eggs today.

She may be a Production Red. They are lighter in color than true pure Rhode Island Reds and that is what many of the hatcheries sell as Rhode Island Reds. They are great layers.

What kind of red sex link do I have? Just got her today, 17 weeks old. She's pretty dark, deep red with some black on her tail feathers tips. Orange legs. No white blotches like my last red star.

I noticed you are a relatively new BYC member and would like to say

. I If she is a Sex-Link, she could be a cross of a Rhode Island Red or New Hampshire Red male and a Delaware female. MY RIR/Del crosses look like her.

Thanks for the reply and the welcome! She may be a Bovine Brown sex link ( the breeder that they got her from breeds this type). I googled images of Bovine browns and they are lighter in color, but who knows. She's really sweet, glad she joined our flock & I look forward to tons of tasty eggs.

My red sex link (2 above photos) just laid her first egg today at 19 weeks; here's the crazy part, it was green!! Anyone else have that experience?
