Looks like a buff orpington to me.

Maybe a cross.

personaly, I think its silly Tractor Supply had no idea what breed they are.. They only knew yhey were female

 

[TimCline]

If they told you they were female they are most likely a sexlink

 

[mychi3136]

What does that mean?

 

[TimCline]

They are a hybrid that can be sexed at hatch by color. Generally good layers.

 

[mychi3136]

Phew! As long as its good news.

I have 2 gold sex links around the same age and they look identical. I've read they can be prone to health issues but no experience with them to back that up. Mine have been great so far and looking forward to what I've read is excellent egg production.
