He looks like a colombian wyandotte, but if so, the girls are a totally different breed.  Do you have a picture of them?

Are you sure they are not red sex links? Males are white with black on neck and females are reddish with little bits of white. Hatcheries love to sub Red Sex Links for RIR's. I love my Sex Links throw eggs faster than a major league pitcher..... LOL
