Having consulted the all-knowing Google, I think I've answered my own question. It's highly unlikely that I have true RIRs, yes? Not that it matters much other than to satisfy my need to label everything. They're all staying.
Interesting. Thanks, Michael. #3 is supposed to be a RIR, and she looks much like my other RIRs. She just got caught in the picture. Maybe they're all Production Reds, then? (Other than the two sex link chicks)
These guys are supposed to be New Hampshire pullets, but they don't look like any New Ham pictures I've ever seen, nor do they look like my others. I'm a newbie, so I could just be making things up. They're Dunlap babies, if that makes any difference. Any ideas? Thanks!
Thanks! It appears to be a newbie probation of sorts. Looks like it's been lifted, as my posts now show up immediately. Anybody want to try their hand at "Guess That Chick?"
Yet another question! These are my 2 weekers. The five I have questions about are all supposed to be New Hampshire pullets, but they look vastly different from one another. Is that common?
#1-- This one is completely different from the others. I call her Henrietta. Perhaps she's a Henry...
Thanks! Someone on another thread (bad form, I'm sorry. Will stick to just one in future) suggested they all look like pullets. I hope they're right-- I'll be a little heart broken if I have to rehome a roo.
Oh, good! I suspected they were polish, but I had no idea where to go from there. I have two more that aren't Polish, and I'm not sure if they're bantams or standards. I have no pullets this age for a size comparison. From the same guy, same approximate ages. I just hit submit too soon. Care to...
Hi! I'm a newbie with 2 weekers in the brooder, but picked up a few 3-4 month olds today from someone who didn't know a thing about them. I suspect 3 are Polish banties, but I'm not sure of the other two. Tried to post pictures in another forum, but my post is being held for moderation. Any idea...
I picked these guys up from someone who had no idea what they were and estimated their ages to be somewhere between 3 and 4 months, though not all the same. I'm fairly certain they're at least part Polish, but please correct me if I'm wrong. Any ideas on sex?

I picked these 5 guys up today from someone in the next town. He called them pullets, wasn't sure what breeds they were, and informed me that there might be a rooster or two in the bunch. They're varying ages, supposedly between 3 and 4 months. I'm a newbie with 2 weekers in the brooder, and...
