I got these pullets at Atwoods hoping they are Buff Orpingtons, but I am not experienced enough to know, and they didn't know at atwoods ( go figure)  So I thought I would ask the experts! :D  They are 2 weeks old.003.JPG004.JPG

They look like Red Stars, also known as Golden Comets. Buff Orps would feather in with an even color.

Yup, Red Sex-Links.  Aka Gold Comets, Red Stars, Cinnamon Queens, etc.

 

They are really good birds that will lay eggs for you like it's the only thing keeping the world turning.  Mine are docile and friendly, but I have heard that some hatcheries havn't bothered to keep the personalities nice in their lines.
