?15 week Easter eggers and RIR

[chrissynemetz]

I agree with @Rhodebar Lover
They're very lovely pullets. You should be able to tame them pretty good with a bit of patience and the occasional treats.

You have a New Hampshire Red and a Light Brown Leghorn and *maybe* a Welsummer. Welsummers are usually a bit larger in size, but they have red ear lobes. If they both have white earlobes, they're Leghorns, if one has red, likely a Welsummer. Once they lay Welsummers will lay dark brown eggs versus a Leghorn's white, so that will be quite obvious

The ear lobs are kind of 1/2 red but definitely not as white as the others. They likely came from Dunlap hatchery as they are local. They do not carry Welsummers. I saw the list for D&B which is a farm store here with a few locations and they got most of their chicks from them. I did see at least one (maybe two as it was months ago and i just don't remember) other hatchery on their list though so it might be possible.

So the one in the background is a RIR yours look nothing like that

Not a RIR either! Red Sex Link.

Huh, not quite sure what they are. They are quite a bit different than the other one's though. Her earlobes will grow with age and along with egg color, you'll know soon enough!

Two of them look like my ISA Browns ( red sex links ). I love them, very docile and curious.

Well then my hatchery is a fibber then

My guesses are: Brown Leghorn, Welsummer, and definitely a RSL.

What would be the differences in RSL vs New Hampshire Red?
