Do Dixie Rainbows/Pioneers all look different?

Really pretty! And you're right, big!

This past spring when I bought chicks at the feed store, we bought 1 Dixie Rainbow as a filler. Not knowing anything about this breed, as soon as I got home we googled it. I can't tell you how happy we have been with Dixie. She is a wonderful pullet. I did have to move her up with the older group of pullets I had because she outgrew all the baby chicks by leaps and bounds! I have never raised CxR, so I can't compare her to them, but I can tell you she is one heavy, healthy, happy bird. She is very good natured. Next spring I will be adding more of these girls to my flock.

Dixie is the one on the left in this pic.

She is behind my EE in this pic.

I would absolutely recommend this breed. I never heard them called Pioneer. Glad @Michael OShay cleared that up.

Nice birds, they are big on meat and eggs, and despite the hatcheries saying they will not breed true, NOT true

The two birds in the middle- one blonde, one red- are my two Rainbows. About 18 weeks old. Does anyone have experience with Rainbows? How is egg production/color/size?
At what age did they start laying?
I was a chicken novice when I purchased our chicks in late April. I have learned so much since then! I probably would not have chosen a dual purpose bird, as they are pets and we are pretty attached, and we won't be eating any of our flock. They are very pretty and tend to stick together more so than any of the other 4 pullets.
