Really a Rhode Island Red?

[joyful1014]

I thought the feathers are supposed to be all one color? This chick is 3-4 weeks old, I think.
Thanks!

Yes.... the light color of the chick suggests production red..they seem to show more color in them...they do eventually turn all red though.give it about 3 more weeks.

the one laying down looks like the RIR I got from TSC, the other looks like the Gold Comet. Not sure I am right but hope it helps!

Looks exactly what my RIR did as a chick.

looks like wat my chick used to look like..

5 days old in this one [the third one]

This is her at 4-5 weeks.

Right now she's 6 weeks and she's getting redder and losing the grey. Yours might be a RIR too.

Agree Mine looked the same. The feathers will even out as it gets bigger.

I also Agree. My RIR Lucy looked just like this too, and now she is a big beautiful feisty Rhode Island Red!!

Are the rest of yours a white leghorn, BO and SLW?​

No the first one is a Light Brahma, then a BO and RIR mix, then the RIR, then the last one is a GLW. They are much older now.
