What are the brown girls?

[MomtoRarities]

They will be our eating eggs, as we didnt want to eat the marans, legbars, or polish eggs. So we dont really care, but are curious!

They look like Rhode Islands to me. They look exactly like my red

They do all have black in their tails. Nit sure how obvious that is here.

ahhh I did not see that. They could always be a mix breed which in my experience are even better layers

So I'm guessing RIR don't have black? I had researched and thought maybe Red ranger?! I think that was what it was called??

They look like hatchery quality Hampshire Red hens to me. RIR do have black tail feathers, but are a much darker red on their body. Both breeds lay really well.

Agreed.

They are far too light to be RIR.

They look like Columbian black tails.

I also agree.

Thank you for all the help. These girls are 16 weeks old. How long until they lay, in your opinions?
