Assorted Reds from TSC, what are the possiblities?

Don't know if this will help, but here's pics of some of ours from last year. The baby in the front is a NHR, next is a buff brahma, the back is a cuckoo maran, all are pullets. We have 3 NHR's and they are great layers and sweet hens.

Thank you soooo much for posting this! I'm buying chicks from TSC this year for the first time. I hope my TSC has the reds separated, but now at least I'll be able to make an educated guess now. From the pictures the RIRs are the darkest, then the Golden Comets (or sex links), and then the NH reds are the lightest. Correct?

ETA: Whoops just realized that this was a fairly old post. Please forgive me. I am curious to get the coloring correct, though.

You probably hit it right on both counts.
Remember they are a retail outlet. Their driving focus is to sell stuff, everything from lawnmower wheels to Carhartt T-shirts.
They sell chicks because it brings people in the door to spend money.
I know some of the people who work at our TSC. They are nice people, but are essnetially clueless as "rural supply advisors."
I have little doubt this extends up the management chain.

But they are very nice when you walk in the door and greet everyone
