Breed/Age help needed

[kayceb]

Two weeks ago I acquired 6 beautiful baby pullets. However after more examination at home i quickly noticed that the age difference between some may be as much as a week or so. For this reason, i am not sure how old they are now, nor when it would be best to move to the next form of feed. Any experts who can help age them from the picture i would greatly appreciate it! They were sold as RHRs, is this accurate? One is lacking redish brown and is mostly yellowish white. This one also has almost no tail feathers yet while all the others are well on their way.

RHR?

Where did you get them?

Look to be 2 weeks or so in age. Younger that 3 weeks for sure. Look like Red Sexlinks to me. They should stay on chick feed until they start laying.

Ah, OK. They aren't RIRs but they do look like sexlinks. That would make them all pullets.

Ive had them for just shy of three weeks now. All fuzz when i got em. Two are larger then the others by a good bit, cockrals maybe?

There is some variation in growth speed and feathering rate.

RHR? What ever they are, colors are very pretty...Those pics look to me like around 10-12 days old.
