. I asked for New Hampshire or RIR, and TSC said they are one of the 2. They are 8 weeks old.
 
Your birds are neither RIRs or NHs. They are Red Sex Link pullets, which are produced by crossing red gene roosters with silver gene hens. Not only can the offspring be sexed by color from hatching (females are reddish, males are white), but they are egg laying machines, outlaying either parent breed. It's one of the interesting quirks of hybridization. The good news is that you can tell by their color that they are all pullets, and they will outlay either RIRs or NHs. :eek:)

Agreed.
