Thanks to all who answered about my RIR cockerels

now I need to know about my California Tan Pullets. I bought 4, they are a sex link bird so they should all be pullets. They are 11 weeks old, they dont have large combs or wattles, and they are yellow orange in color. Problem is they have 2 distinct body types and feathers. Plus the 2 I'm worried about chase my smaller 2 Saphire Gem roosters 8 weeks old but obvious...

Pullets
 
Thanks everyone You are all amazing.
I do have some thoughts on the California tan pullets.
1. They are my friendliest chickens. Don't mind being handled and petted.
2. They can get to places I didn't think possible.
3. I don't believe the hoovers person who said its a cross with a production red and leghorn. The birds are just too white, not even a hint of red feathering. I would think 1/8 production red tops, but mostly leghorn and then California grey and California white.

Mine have faint red around their eyes and down their breast. Just look kind of dirty. But they are beautifully shaped chickens.

Some of mine have red on their chests, makes them look dirty.
