Production Red v's Road Island Red?

My grandma used to have RIR and Production Reds... not sure which kind this was but I know his brother tasted delicious (he used to attack anything from people to 4-wheelers to cars and trucks) the one pictured was the sweetest rooster I’ve ever met personally...

"Production Red" is a meaningless term that is endlessly bandied about here. Either it's a Rhode Island Red, a New Hampshire, or some sort of cross. The people that bred the bird can tell you what it is.

Now whether it meets the APA SOP or not is another thing entirely. Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't, but that's only a cosmetic standard not a practical one. I maintain that a Rhode Island Red that only lays 150 eggs a year and takes six months to start laying isn't a real Rhode Island Red either even if it wins every show in the country.

You can go wrong either way.

I like your stance. Because from the physical descriptions I hear, my girl is a Rhode Island Red - as they told.me she was as a chicken. She's deep dark red with black ends on her tail. Her tail doesn't come up much. Noisy as heck and top hen. But she also has been laying 6 eggs a week,even in the extreme heat.
