Oooh, Pierre Part. I worked in Morgan City many decades ago. I know where you are. I like that part of the country. Tremendous fishing. I caught my first choupique in that area. What an ugly fish. I just cut my line and let it go.

Red Star, Gold Sex Links, those are just marketing names. One hatchery may call a certain cross a Red Star. Another hatchery may call a totally different cross a Red Star. Or they may call the same cross Gold Sex Link, Gold Star, or something else entirely. Those names really don’t narrow it down much.

We call them Red Sexlinks

• The red sex-link (also known as Golden Comet, Gold Star, or Cinnamon Queen depending on the specific cross used) are produced by a number of different crosses. White Plymouth Rocks hens with the silver factor are crossed with a New Hampshire male to produce the Gold Comet. A Silver Laced Wynandotte hen is crossed with a New Hampshire rooster to produce the Cinnamon Queen. Additional possible red sex-link cross combinations are the Rhode Island White hen and a Rhode Island Red rooster or a Delaware hen with a Rhode Island Red rooster. Males hatch out white and can feather out to pure white or with some black feathering depending on the cross. Females hatch out buff or red, depending on the cross, and they feather out buff or red.
