Took me a while to figure them out.

That does look like mine. Red ranger is a meat chicken. Guess I'll be talking with the breeder

I have three Red Ranger pullets and they are wonderful, sweetest disposition of any chickens ive dealt with! I was told they were very good layers. I will say they're VERY sturdy birds

I think I have one RR hen from a rescue last year. I will say that she is quite friendly. She allows me to pet her while she is eating. She doesn't "growl" while in the nest. And she was one of my first layers. I was just looking for a more uncommon bird, as a mystery bird from TSC's suppliers. Oh well.

I understand! We ended up with another RR thinking we were getting something of a mystery as well!

I looked closer and this chick has feathered legs.

I think I have a wheaten marans chick! Woohoo!

I think the first is a pullet, and the second a cockerel...but the Marans look a lot like cockerels...I could be totally wrong in a few weeks! It may be too early but the combs look very red to me, but I'm no expert!

Thank you so much for the help! I had a feeling that the first one was a hen. hopefully she stays that way. lol
