Help me identify these birds

[isaackarrick]

Hey guys. I just was given these two hens but don't know what breed they are. I want to make sure they are not going to fight with my Rhode Island reds that I already have. They are in a temp cage but are now in the new cage that I just got finished. Here is a pic of them.

They look like Red/Golden sex links.

Griffinsong is correct, they are Red Sex Links (RIR rooster X a white/silver breed hen such as RIW, White Rock, or Deleware).

 

[WalkingOnSunshine]

Yes, those are Red Sex Links. A mixed-breed chicken with a red factor father and a silver factor mother, so that the males hatch out yellow and the females hatch out red and are easily sexable at hatch. They will be excellent layers of extra large brown eggs. They tend to be very mellow and friendly and your RIR may boss them around a bit.

Oh yeah, someone is going to get pecked a little but nothing major. Those are good laying chickens you got there. I don't know much but RSL are egg machines. You put food in the front and eggs fly out of the rear.

LOL Hilarious!!

From what iI've seen, I agree. They look like what my neighbors buy.

Both are Red Sex-Link hens.

They are not Production Reds. PRs are RIR X New Hampshire and do not have all those white feathers like the Red Sex Links do.
