Goose (we named her "goose" because she has a deep voice compared to the others, and she sounds like she's honking)

I really want some sexlinks and on craiglist they were selling pullets for 10 dollars each. Is this a good buy.?

To me it looks like you have either Rhode Island Reds or Production Reds.

i still confuse what the different between RSL and Production red...? which are better..?

Quote: The Production Red Chicken Breed is usually a cross between the Rhode Island Red Chicken and the New Hampshire Red Chicken. They are bred to be a very capable and efficient breed for egg production, yielding vast quantities of large brown eggs although not as meaty. The Red Sex-Links are generally a cross between a Rhode Island Red or New Hampshire Red male and Rhode Island White females which gives the females the white tips on their tail feathers and often times white lacing around their necks.

These are Red Sex-Link females


Red Sex-Link male and female chick.


Red Sex-Link adults.



These are Standard Rhode Island Red females

Thanks for the explain buddy.
so, which is the best for egg production...? and why the red production chicken not so popular than RSL..?

Remember these ones?
The red ones are true Cinnamon Queens (RIR x SLW)


Today they left the brooder box for the coop.... 9 weeks old.
(Delay due to I was building the coop and, well, Life kept getting in the way)
Note the rose comb like a Wyandotte!

(Maude, Mabel and Edith...named after Mom's aunties. There's an Ethel, too, but too young for the coop yet)

Talk about trepidatious: I put them in and they hadn't moved much in over an hour. Then I figured it out...they had never been on sawdust before and were afraid to move! Last I looked, though, one had found something tasty in the feeder...at least they won't starve to death.

The Red Sex-Links do seem to be a bit more popular and probably lay a little better but both are good layers. Actually my Heritage RIR's are very good layers but the do start laying later than most other breeds.
