I'm sorry to revive an old thread, but I have a question along these lines.
My neighbors told me their chickens are "RIR Sexlinks". Does this mean that the father was a RIR and the mother could have been just about anything else? When you are buying a sexlink, is there anyway to know for sure what you are getting?
They said they love them because they lay more and eat less than standard RIRs. I was hoping to get some myself. They are a beautiful light orange color and weren't at all noisy.
Allan mentioned they wouldn't breed true, I guess that means their progeny would not be like them. What would be the result?
