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.
Mike, North Idaho –
Healthy Hens.
In early May we received our pullets. I ordered a variety to include Austrolorps, Buff Orpingtons and Production Reds. 22 total including the extras sent as a safe guard. All were healthy and have matured well. We eventually sold off 12 and kept 10. At 5-1/2 months they ALL started laying. We are heading into winter, days are shorter, but the young gals are healthy and producers. We have been very impressed and happy. Thanks for some great livestock.
