i say production reds also

 

[cluckcluckluke]

are production reds good? are they similar to rhodes? can you give me any info on them??

 

[juliechick]

Production Reds are a cross breed bred for laying, so they will give you lots of brown eggs. They are usually tame. They can have different names depending on what hatchery is selling them. These look like some "Cherry Eggers" I had when I was a kid. Wonderful chickens!

oh GREAT thanks, they have the best name hahah, and you are right every time i go to check on my chickens they are the first in the laying boxes every day!!

They are just hatchery red birds, they're bred to be great layers of nice brown eggs.
