Help. What breed?

[Ringbauer Roost]

Can someone tell me what breed this is? We were given 2 ducklings & 3 chicks. No clue on the chicks. Thx.

Silver laced Wyandotte?

I bet you're correct. I just googled that & it looks right. Thx!

Any guesses on the 2 red ones? Looking like RIRs but were really mottled when younger.

The two red ones are both Production Reds.

They look like hatchery quality RIRs or Production Reds.

Great minds think alike. ) Practically speaking, there is little or no difference between hatchery quality RIRs and Production Reds.

What are 'production reds'?

 

[junebuggena]

A hatchery hybrid usually of Rhode Island Red and New Hampshire Red. They are bred to be extremely productive egg layers, especially for the first couple years of laying.
