They are red sexlinks, which means they can be sexed by color. Males are white with some red in the shoulders. Females are red/gold/brown with some white.
Your's have female coloring.
 
Thankyou for your replies this really helps!! And I didn't know they were red sex links! I'll keep that in mind

You're welcome. Hyline is the particular brand name of these Red Sex Links which are marketed by hatcheries under a lot of different labels. Red Sex Links are hybrids produced by crossing a red gene rooster (RIR, NH, or PR) with a silver gene hen (RIW, SLW, Delaware, Light Sussex, or silver factor WPR) and they are egg laying machines, consistently churning out more than 300 large brown eggs per hen per year. :eek:)
