Heirloom or hybrid?

[Oklahomachick]

I have 2 barred rocks, 1 Rhode Island Red, 1 Gold Sex-link, & 1 Barr Orpington. I believe the Orpington is an heirloom but, I do not know about the rest. Does anyone know?

off the top of my head I would say they are not heirloom but can't confirm that. You could enter "Heirloom chicken breeds," in the search box and see what comes up.

Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan

Rocks, RIR and Orps are all considered heritage breeds; sex-links are hybrids and not purebreds.
