breed help!!

8 weeks ago i bought 5 "red" pullets from TSC. It turned out that one was a rooster and we're finding him a new home. but since i bought them from the red pullet brooder i dont know what breed each chicken is. The breeds i think the chickens might be are, Rhode Island red, New Hampshire red, production red, red sex link, or a mutt of any of these breeds. here is a picture of them..

x2, plus the one with the big comb is a cockerel. Pullets don't have that much color or size at 8 weeks.

I see one cockerel in that group, the one with the big comb. They are most likely Production Reds and New Hamps.

are you guys sure that the production reds aren't Rhode island reds because iv'e heard both from various people???

Usually what they sell as "red pullets" are red stars (which yours aren't), production reds or New Hampshire reds.

if u got them from a TSC then they are production red. A real RIR is very dark in color. almost black in color.
