Cinnamon Queen, red star, red sex link, golden comet is their really any diffrence in these breeds other than the name is any a better layer feed-egg confersion better i read they are all sex links so i figured it was a just a gimmick to get ppl to buy diffrent named birds that are purdy much the same?

They're all sex-links, but not all sex-links are the same.

This page will explain the ins and outs of the way they work.

My dad has some Red sex links, his started laying about 15 to 16 weeks old. I think I read somewhere that it is usually15 to 20 weeks when they star laying, depending on the cross that they came from.
 
I prefer just calling them Red sex-links and Black sex-links. Makes it SO much simpler!

Or if I want to shorten it a little, then red and black stars. Even though there are many breed combinations that can make sex-linked babies, I still don't feel the need for so many names!
