Posted this question in the wrong thread... so trying again to see if i get more of the same answer.

I got these little cuties at TSC labeled under "assorted reds" .... thinking their RIR/production reds? .... I got RIR from the other thread (raising baby chicks).... though a friend (and chicken luver) is pretty sure their not considering the wing pattern.
Any more opinions? I would love to be able to sleep tonight

they are not RIR, you can tell from the new feathers that are coming in. i would say New Hampshire Reds, they probably had RIRs, NHRs, and possibly Buckeyes in with her/him.
 
That is pretty much what hatchery RIR or production reds look like when they are growing in. The "barring" will disappear as the chick grows up.

My RIR roosters:
