20 week old production reds

[Ben_2288]

I got these guys a few days old from my local TSC they were purchased as pullets but display roster tendencies such as dominance stances and neck feather show lift.

They look a bit younger than 20 weeks. I think they are red sex links rather than production reds because of the white in the plumage, and if that is the case then they are all pullets because sex link cockerels have very different coloring.

They are the smaller ones of the bunch the white is from feather eating they are production reds

Production reds don't have white tail feathers. They should be black. In any case, I don't see any signs of these birds being cockerels, so I think you can safely assume you've got pullets. Cockerels would have large red combs and wattles at that size.

completely agree with @JedJackson on both gender and breed of these little girls.

If not production red then it will be ISA brown I bought all brown egg layers including RIR they all mix

Isa Brown is just another name for a red sex link. They all lay brown eggs, and look similar, but are just called different things depending on which hatchery they came from.
