Are these Red Rangers?

[Mommysongbird]

I have 3 chickens, the big one is about 20 weeks, maybe older and the other 2 are approx. 14 weeks and then I have what are suppose to be 14 week old Red Sex Links (you'll see one in a picture). The younger 2 and the 2 sex links were the last purchased birds at TSC at the end of April, but they aren't as big as I think they should be.

But my question is ARE the 3 RED/BURT ORANGE birds Red Rangers or something else? And how do I tell male from female?? The larger of the 3 did the submissive squat earlier when I went to shoo her out of the way to take a photo of the other one.

And what about the one in the photo that is suppose to be a red sex link (standing behind the burnt orange color one)


Oldest one (Red Ranger male or female)

Younger one in separate pen (the red sex link in back)



Red Ranger young one (same age as the one above)?? Sorry for the blur



Red Ranger young one (same as above blurred one) has black tail feathers, black spots on feathers around neck and wing tips and tail.

Looks like my red Rangers. Mine are just about 18 weeks and are huge!

Thanks, I just have to wonder because they all don't have the black tail feathers and I don't want to be processing a future layer.

TSC wasn't even sure they were labeled right from the companies this year.

Mine were noticeably larger then my other chicks at a couple weeks of age...I had 3 australorps and 2 production reds the same age and there was a big difference in them.
