Breed and Gender (if possible)

[lizage]

I have 4 chicks that look identical to each other (two pictures below are of the same chick). I got them from TSC under the "Red Pullet" category which identified 4 possible breeds: Rhose Island Red, New Hampshire Red, Isa Brown and Buff Orpington. I believe (based on googling images) that they are not RIR or NHR, so I'm hoping I could get a more definitive answer here! They are 3 weeks old.

My bet would be ISA Brown and a pullet. Could be a poorly colored NHR, but I doubt it. Definitely not a RIR or Buff Orp.

Thanks! ANything specific you're looking for to tell the difference between a Roo or Hen at this point? All 4 look identical to me...

The coloring. Male red sex links (aka Isa Brown, cinnamon queens, etc) are white with red on the wing triangle. The pullets are mostly red with white accents.

OK, thanks! So far, all the guesses on my birds (different breeds) have been all female...and here I was convinced I would end up with all boys!!

I have 2 hatchery New Hampshire pullets who look like that.
