bullcock Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 I might be wrong here but I think both parents would have to be carrying recessive red which would be very rare, but probable a red in the loft has been involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billt Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 The only other possible reason could be what you describe as velvet on the hens wings is masking red, in which case the young red would be a cock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
