Brought "red" pullets but what are they really

[Thechefchicks]

I bought sexed pullets from a store and the brooder they were in just said Reds. They were cute and fluffy and buttercream yellow and now they are WHITE with reddish combs and waddles. Any ideas?? I was thinking and heard white leghorns but who knows

Sound like red sex link roos.

Even though they are at 12 weeks and not a single crowing peep??

Post pics--that will help a lot.

If they are feathering in white, and the combs are pinkish/red as opposed to being yellow, then sex-link roos sounds right. The female sex-link feathers in mostly rusty red while the male feathers in white. Yes, photos will help a lot.

Of course, lots of white birds "could" have been put into that bin inaccurately. Tetra Tints, Leghorns, White Rocks, Dels, etc.

BTW, my male sex-links did not crow until 22 weeks, so don't take their silence as evidence of much.

Well I went back out to look at them this morning and I was mistaken they have yellowish combs and waddles. But what kind would they be??? Or should I say what breed are they
