were did they come from?

I bought them from a guy in Reading who hatched them in an incubator. They're a mix of something, but not sure what?

whats a red sex link?
thanks for the response.

You can google red sex link, they're a hybrid chicken, but I'm thinking it might not make sense that they were a red sex link cross, because red sex links have all sorts of weird variation in their genetics, and these hens look like they're a consistent cross (though we only have two to look at). I think that's how it works.

If you look at the chicken calculator, a white patterned gold duckwing male crossed with a white patterned red wheaten female produces females that look similar to yours. I have NO idea what breeds might hold those colors...

Their body shape reminds me of my orpingtons

I think they might be some sort of orpington cross.
