    I was told these eggs were Red Sex Links but when they hatched...

    ...clearly they are not. Can you help me identify them? I rented the incubator and purchased the eggs from our local cooperative extension office and was told that the dozen I got were all Red Sex Links. Some are, but some are not. Here are photos of the three that are not. Thank you for any...
