If you purchased them as RIRs, they are not. They are NHRs or production reds.They are, yes
Glad someone got them right! I was wrong the first time! Congrats!Thank you all! Very happy right now!
Their coloring is not correct for New Hampshires They have the typical rusty red of a Production Red or hatchery-quality RIR (which I call Production Reds due to their extreme deviation from the breed.)If you purchased them as RIRs, they are not. They are NHRs or production reds.
Why not? If it's just the shade of red, they could be hatchery quality Rhode Island Reds, selected more for their laying ability than for the exact shade of red.If you purchased them as RIRs, they are not. They are NHRs or production reds.
Here is an example of a New Hampshire Red from a show breeder:If you purchased them as RIRs, they are not. They are NHRs or production reds.
Mainly because of their shade of red (like you mentioned) and their lack of black in their tails.Why not? If it's just the shade of red, they could be hatchery quality Rhode Island Reds, selected more for their laying ability than for the exact shade of red.
Both are Production Red/Hatchery quality RIR pullets.I was asked to update the photos. Here are the remaining 2 pullets in question. They will be 10 weeks old, tomorrow. I don't see much change in the last 2 weeks
