Can you help me identify what type of chick I have?

[acorley84]

I bought 6 chicks from TSC, but all they told me is that I bought 3 pullets and 3 red pullets. I've lost 2 of the chicks (one of each) so I'm only down to four, but could someone please help me try to identify what chicks these may be?


This is one of the red pullets (Ricky) who is not really Ricky but Ricki and my son is not that happy about it! HAHA! Billy who I guess is now Billie is also a red pullet that looks identical to this one but is quite a bit larger!



This is one of the pullets, Bella! I bought them about one week ago!



This is Nellie, the last of the pullets.

I certainly appreciate anyone's help in identifying my breed of chicks!

You should really get some better pictures but to me it looks a little like a red star or a road island red. Besides the pictures were did you get. By the way I also got those from tractor supply and they get really big! I'm hoping they are red stars because those are great layers! The just plane "pullets" are most likely leghorn. These chickens are commercially used for egg laying.

The lady told my husband they were supposed to be the best egg layers! I'll try to take better pictures this evening! Thanks for the help!

TSC: Red Pullets= Anything that the hatchery sends them. RIR, NH, Red Sexlink, yadayada.
Assorted Pullets= Anything female from the hatchery. Most likely Tetra Tints.

Chicks come from Mt. Healthy Hatchery for the TSC stores.

Not the best but on average they lay 320 eggs a year! That's a lot!

It could be a Buff orpington,road island red or cornish rock.

I don't think there cornish rocks because those are awful egg layers and meant completely for meat
