Ok, these are not Buff Orpingtons! What did I get?

They lay wonderful eggs, often. They are healthy birds......but not what I wanted. Disappointing. I wanted Orpingtons looking for a friendly breed that may go broody. Whats funny is I bought 4 chicks from a breeder and not one of them looks like the other!!! And none are the Orpingtons I ordered.
 
The pictures are a bit blurry, but they look like Production Reds (I don't see the white feathers in them that are indicative of Red Sex Link hens--maybe at my age I am getting blind tho'). :eek:) Either way, they will outlay the Buff Orpingtons, although the Orpingtons generally have the somewhat sweeter and gentler personality.
