Are these Rhode Island Reds OR Production Reds..OR????

So when I bought these two girls ( I hope), I thought I was buying Rhode Island Reds... Now I have seen RIR, Production Reds, Red Sex links...etc etc.... I am just curious are these actually RIR's?... Or some other generic Red chicken?

Those two sure look like RIRs to me.

This is a pretty slow time of day, many people are sleeping, so I wouldn't expect a large flow of responses until morning probably.

Those look pretty light, my vote would be production reds, but mine is a very uneducated guess.

Yeah I forget we are not all night owls !!! Some people have better things to do (like sleep) than post on a chicken forum at .....uuummm... almost midnight !! LOL

Glad to hear they are probably RIR's..... There are just so many varieties I am quickly learning ! This chicken forum is ADDICTING! Too much information.....can not process!!

Or not RIR's.....

Even RIR's are "generic." True bred, old-school RIR's are hard to come by these days, with only a relative few breeders specializing in them.

I'd call them RIR's and be happy. They look very nice.
