Newbie: What type of chickens do I have here?

Date sort Score sort
Hello :frow and Welcome To BYC! X3, the red chick looks like a RIR or Production Red type, the other one is a frizzle of some sort (does it have feathers/fuzz on its feet at all?) Your BR so far looks pretty dark so hopefully a girl. X3 the dark chick looks more like a Black Sex Link / Black Star than BR. The two white ones, maybe White Plymouth Rocks, unless you specifically bought RIWhites? The frizzle gene really doesn't really have a negative effect on the birds as long as they only have one copy, they just don't fly as well (which can be nice). My avatar is a frizzle Sumatra.

Some of your chicks look like these ....
 
Frizzles tend to be well sought after. They are very attractive - to me any how. You don't want to breed a frizzle to another frizzle however, as they tend to have very brittle feathers and bald spots.

My chicks are now older and in their new habitat. I am STILL trying to figure out what breed my dark reddish brown chicken is. I've attached several pics if anyone can help me out!
