Are these NHR's? (5ish weeks old), or what?

Got these from the pullet bin at TSC. They were very light yelowish and they had very faint stripes down their back. first wing feathers were like light buff.

Then the sholder feathers started coming in orange!!

O.J. seems to be a roo ( the darker one).

This is O.J. and Marmalade.

O.J.

neck feathers have like light spots in the middle of them for now!

Marmalade:

Do NHR's usually feather in with so many light feathers?! Will there next set be all dark?!

Thanks!

ahh I see! I looked it up and mine seem a lot like them! So are they both actually pullets then? one looks very comb-y and wattle-y!! maybe she's just developing faster?!

they are pullets. in red sex links the hens are brown white very little white and the roos are white with brown shoulders.

RSL pullets. I have several girls that look just like them, and by far, the SL eggs are my FAVORITE!! You're gonna love the taste of those eggs, especially if they can free range a bit - yummy!

Look exactly like my golden comets (RSLs), mine are about 8 - 9 weeks old now and one's comb developed earlier and more than the others. They're very calm and laid back birds - or at least mine are.
