Chicken breed

[hevaglenn]

Can anyone tell me what breed of chickens these are? I'm new to keeping chickens and dont know much about them! I got told that they were definatly hens as the roosters they said were white something? and the hens were red something? It made no sense to me when I got told and still doesn't make much sense now. I'm thinking maybe rhode island red??

At first glance they appear to be Sex Links. Quite possibly a White Rock roo bread to a Rhode Island Red or a New Hampshire Red. Boys come out white, thus you can sex them by color.

Wish ya the best.

I understand now, thank you

Actually not sure how they get the sex link, now that I think about it. Maybe a Delaware with a RIR or NHR. Or vise versa. I'm sure someone here knows how to get the sex link coloration.

I've had several sex links and loved them all. Great layers and very friendly.

I didn't realise I would love them so much, they are lovely!! I just liked the idea of having them in my garden and having fresh eggs but I can't believe how much I love them!! They are so loving and funny too!! I gave them their first treat today of worms from the garden, it was comical to watch

They remind me of my golden comet chicks, who have the same patterns and colors as your chickens. Golden comets are sex links, the males are whitish yellow and the females are yellow with brown stripes.
