Hens, Correct?

I just want to be sure. Extra points if you can tell me the breeds!

Both look like girls, and I'm guessing Rhode Island Red and Red Star (Golden Comet, whatever you want to call them).

 

[Saveria]

Production Reds, as many folks call them.

 

[Yard Farmer]

Production laying hens.

Wait, are they two different breeds?

That’s what I’ve been wondering!

That’s what I’ve been wondering!

If they are I think what I said above is correct, but if not, they're both RIRs. What were they sold as?

The lady who sold them to me said that the red one was a RIR but I wasn’t certain about it as she got older. I’ve been thinking the other was a Red Star — so at least y’all confirmed what I was thinking!

The second one cannot be a Rhode Island Red, because of the white feathers. Rhode Island Red have lots of red and a bit of black, but no white at all.

Yeah, the one with the white was reminding me of an ISA brown.
