Red Pullet?

[89GTAWS6]

Got 6 chicks at the local Tractor Supply this past spring. 3 of them were in a tub just labeled "Red Pullets". Well 2 of them were, one was def not red and def not a pullet. Any idea what this rooster might be? Tractor Supply chicken mutt?




Beautiful rooster, just don't know what it is. The kids named him "fluffy" lol.

That looks like a red sex link rooster

Awesome,

So I guess it is red, gonna guess that they're all red sex links then since they came out of the same tub.

Thanks!

The 'red pullet' bin at most TSC stores contain/ed red sex links, production reds, New Hampshire reds and/or Rhode Island reds

If you snap a picture of the others we can probably help you narrow down the ID of the other two.

Don't have any recent pics of the other two reds but I can scrounge around for some slightly older ones:





Sorry about the second one, she just trotted right on up there, was just too easy, lol. I'll get some better pics tomorrow, the one has a lot more white mixed in with it than the other.

The rooster is definitely a Red Sex Link. The bottom two are either Production Red hens or Red Sex Link hens. We need a shot where their tails can be seen to be absolutely sure.

That's a funny picture! You should submit it for the caption contest.

Here's the other two "red" hens. With the obligatory buff-orp photobomb.
