Production Reds

Pros: SO super friendly, and pretty docile
VERY good layer (5 - 7 eggs a week)
Pretty tolerant of some things
Not that loud
Occasional double yolkers from her
Fairly early maturing
Cons: When not double yolkers, her common egg size is somewhat small
Not THEE calmest bird around
Low in the pecking order
My Production Red, Emma, is a fairly chill girl. She started laying at an earlier age...may've been my first layer (at roughly nineteen-weeks old).
She usually gives me smaller or medium sized eggs most days, but periodically has been giving me large double yolkers! :D
She's not the lowest on the pecking order (my EE is), but is low on it.
Overall, they're simple but very nice birds...and good pets.

Pros: Great pictures
Cons: Misinformation in this article
Nice pictures but this article is written by someone who I think just got these birds . To say they are good for meat “ I think “ is totally wrong , when a production red is done laying it is skin and bones and giving all they have to lay that egg .
