Description

The Production Red chicken is very similar to a Rhode Island Red chicken only lighter in color. The plumage color can vary from a red-dark red to a light red. They are a vigorous, hearty chicken that lays lots of large/x-large brown eggs. The Production Red chicken breed is a cross of Cackle Hatchery’s® best Rhode Island Red chicken production line over Cackle Hatchery’s® best New Hampshire chicken production line. This cross produces a very vigorous, healthy egg producing hen. This is not an exhibition show chicken but a great production laying hen and/or pet chicken for your backyard.

We will be discontinuing our breeder pen of Production Reds in 2022.

    Not good

    I have lost over 50% of the hens wishing 3 months of laying all are dead in the nest not signs of anything wrong. Beautiful and good layers other wise.
