hello to all.im new to raising chickens and could sure use some help and guidance.

[Percheron chick]

I'm going to say the white ones are light sussexs, They are most likely over 2. They should be the only ones laying at this point. The buff (light golden brown) is more than likely a buff orpington. She's pretty slender for an Orpington and probably 4 months old. The red ones are probably production Reds again in the 4 month old range. I say probably on those two because there are a few breeds that can look every similar featherwise but the breed distinction is made by combining that with comb type and shank color. BO and PR are the more common of that color. The young birds are all pullets.

thanks a bunch.are production reds same as rhode island reds ? that's what I thought they was.

PR are a RIR x new hampshire red. they are a mellower high production layer than a straight RIR. Most red birds are all lumped together and incorrectly called RIR because that's the breed everyone knows.
