The first two are mama, my favorite, but I don't know what she is, and the last pic is of my 4 month old's. I would like to get more of the one's with the small comb and white in their tail. I don't want to order the wrong breed but don't know what they are, also any good breeders in Michigan? Thanks soooooo much.
 
x2. Red Sex Links. Also known as Golden Comets and about a half dozen other names. Can't help with breeders, but they are just about the most widely available layers available, so you shouldn't have too much trouble finding them. I think most hatcheries do them. Keep your eye on your local craigslist, too, perhaps.
 
Thank you! I'm so bad at identification. I didn't know if it was a rhr, nhr, bo, or some other red hen. What about this one? Is it too considered a sexlink? These ones are really flighty

Thanks again
 
X3 on Red Sex Links. They are hybrids produced by crossing a red gene roo (RIR, NH, or Production Red) with a white/silver gene hen (WR, RIW, Delaware, or Light Sussex) that can be sexed by color at hatching (males are whitish, females are reddish). As ShayBaby has said, they are marketed by lots of hatcheries under different names such as Golden Comet, Brown Sex Link, Gold Sex Link, Red Star, Gold Star, Golden Buff, Cinnamon Queen, Bovans Brown, Hubbard Golden Comet, Isa Brown, Babcock Brown, Warrens, Bovans Goldline, etc., but they are all Red Sex Links and are all egg laying machines. I have mail ordered them at one time or another from four different hatcheries, Dunlap Hatchery (http://dunlaphatchery.net/), Murray McMurray Hatchery (http://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/index.html), Ideal Poultry (http://idealpoultry.com/), and Cackle Hatchery (http://cacklehatchery.com/) and have been satisfied with all of them, although I personally like Dunlap's service and birds (never lost a chick in shipping from them) the best (followed closely by Murray McMurray). Dunlap markets their Red Sex Link as Golden Sex Link; Murray McMurray markets their Red Sex Link as Red Star, Ideal markets their Red Sex Link under three different labels depending on the parent breeds used in the cross--Brown Sex Link (RIR x WR), Gold Sex Link (RIR x RIW), and Red Sex Link (RIR x Delaware). Cackle Hatchery also markets their Red Sex Link under three different labels depending on the parent breeds used in the cross--Red Sex Link (RIR x Delaware), Cinnamon Queen (RIR x RIW), and Golden Comet (Production Red x RIW).
