Chicks from TSC. Any ideas on the breed?

[chkinut]

i am doubting the red one is a RIR. at least in my experience, i've never seen RIR feathers come in white.

I'm almost positive the one on the right is a red sex link. I bought 3 of them from TSC and it look EXACTLY like mine.

Is a red sex link the same as a comet?

I had one just like the right hand one and it is an RSL.

We got these chicks from tractor supply, the white one from the mixed pullets and the reddish one from the red pullets. They thought the reddish one was New Hampshire red but I think it may be the golden comet because the wing feathers are coming in white. The white one I am thinking Amberlink or Tetra Tint? Any suggestions on breed would be great. Thank you

Red Sex Links can also be called Red Star, Golden Comet, Gold Star, and Cinnamon Queen. They are just a mix of two different birds, and the female will turn out to be buff or red, depending on the cross. The males hatch out white, and can be pure white or white with some black depending on the cross.

Okay, the second pic of your red looks like stripes on the back, so it very well could be a Golden Comet.

Either way, they're both cute!

I got 6 Amberlink chicks at our TSC this week, and they look exactly like your yellow chick. Congrats and have fun!

The red chick is a "Producion Red." These Pro. Reds are a cross between a RIR and a White Leg Horn. They are great layers! I just bought 4 pullet Pro. Reds 5 days ago. My lil reds are so cute and come straight to my hand when they see it. They are very tame. (My 2 Wyandotte chicks seem to be more wairy than the Reds.)
The white chick is prob a Cornish Rock? :/ Not 100% sure though. Cornish rks are for meat purposes and can develope many problems(spraddle leg, diet (they will literally eat them selves to death!)) longterm.
Production Reds are probably one of my favorite breeds.
I do like those fluff-ball Slkies though.

Hope this helps,

Your yellow chick looks like it could be a White Plymouth Rock. I have 3 1week old White Rocks and they look like yours. Im not sure about the red one i dont have any red ones.
