That would be wonderful if it was. There were 3 breeds of chicks they were selling- RIR, Buff Orpington and Plymouth Rocks-- Is that normal for a hatchery to send a chick that is a hybrid? Or possible?

I would look really close to the legs if they are white or not.

White as in the skin of legs & feet or white as in the feathers around the legs?

 

[Roo on Harley]

check the color of the bottom of the feet too...(claws, i know they don't have feet)

 

[LizzieMac]

Sorry one more dumb question white would mean a pullet or a roo?

If the Leg color is White, Then that would mean that they are not Rhode Island Reds.
From what I can tell from your first post I would say that they are Production Reds.

I have a production red and she looks a lot lighter then mine. I have no idea what she is. But just wanted to say she is pretty.

She looks like a Production Red to me; my sexlinks had a LOT more white on them. But, hey, I could be wrong!
