Double Checking---ISA Browns?? 7 weeks

Unless your farm store got them from Townline Hatchery, in Zeeland, MI, probably not, but there's no way to know for sure. 

They are indeed red sexlinks.  Great birds for laying.  They are a mixed bird for laying efficiently.  As for being ISA Brown's , there's no way of knowing, really, for sure.  People tend to throw that name around, not knowing that the ISA is a specific laying hen and Townline is the only known source, licensed to sell them in the retails space, that I am aware.  If there are others, I don't know of them.

What Fred said. They're red sex link pullets.

Just about guarranteed that they came from Townline.   We have a BYC member who works at Townline and knows the deliver route.  Ghulst I think his screen name is.  You could PM him.  Easier?  Just phone the store.  Ask them, "Do you guys get your chicks from Townline up in Zeeland"?   If the answer is yes, then those teenage helpers were spot on and you have ISA Browns.

They look like red sexlink or golden comets. I'm not a pro but i have some pure breed golden comets that look very close to this. Mine are 4 - 5 months old.

Hey AJ,  just thought you might wanna know.  "purebreed golden comets" is an oxymoron.   The Golden Comet is just another sex link.  It is a mix from the get go, made intentionally by mixing a gold (Red) rooster over a silver(White) hen.  Sorry.  However, like most sexlinks made this way and sold under all kinds of names for marketing reasons, the bottom line is that they are great layers. Enjoy your GC.
