Production Red (Chick/Female/Pullet)

The Production Red is a top egg production variety.  This breed is one of the most hardy and productive birds we offer.  The hens lay good-sized eggs that have strong shell quality.  They are very similar to a NOVOgen. At 20 weeks of age, their first 76 weeks of laying, with proper care, they produce 20% more eggs and eat 30% less feed than a normal large breed hen. They are excellent at free-ranging  and are gentle and easy to work with. They have smaller bodies and are not a meat or dual-purpose bird.
