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.

remaining chickens doing well and laying now
I ordered 15 chicks on 5/23/19 They all arrived alive and seemed in good shape. As it turned out two began to show signs of birth defects. They could not walk or hold their heads up. Very sad and they did not survive.
