What was I given??

[MatthewsHomestead]

What are these ladies? They lay large brown eggs and one even goes the extra mile and lays extra large eggs. I've heard ISA's and rainbows but would like to know something more definite. Had I bought them myself I would have known, however these were gifted to me....
My Amerecauna Roo photo bombed the pic.... he is such a showoff sometimes....

May be red sex links....

 

[Frazzemrat1]

Those are red sex links. They come in many names; cinnamon queens, isa browns... but they're all red sex links.

 

[MatthewsHomestead]

Is it possible they are golden comet? I know they are a relative of the red sex link?

Congratulations on the red sexlinks! They will lay a lot of eggs for you

 

[MatthewsHomestead]

So their coloring makes them the golden but their breeding makes them sex links?

Yes, a golden comet is another name for a red sex link.

The only difference between them is what hatchery owns what name for them...

 

[MatthewsHomestead]

Oh yes they will and already do! I've got quite a few eggs in the bator hoping for more!

The pullets you hatch out will lay brown and light green eggs!

Ok. That makes it confusing! I'll keep them for my egg flock and stick to my Orpingtons and Amerecaunas for my breeding/show flocks. Lol. They do lay really well.

Another question.... How do Barred rocks compare to them as far as egg production?
