Rhode island red hen? Wyandotte hens?

[Horsebackgurl98]

Are these two rhode island red hens? 2 pics per bird.
And are these what I think are wyandottes hens? Again 2 pics per bird. They'll be 4 months old beginning of December

The wyandottes are indeed silver laced wyandottes. The RIRs also look to be RIRs.

Look like Production Red and Wyandotte pullets.

My red sex link is much lighter than these kids.

Production Reds are a bit different - not Sexlinks, but not purebreds.
I think they are NHR and RIR crosses.

Gotcha, I know they were sold to me as RIR. I'm worried they're sex links or productions and won't be around as long and only lay 2 or 3 years.

In my experience production reds lay longer than sex links, and seem to have fewer reproductive problems

Good to know. They have gotten darker red since I posted that picture.

I have 4 year old productions reds that are laying, healthy and happy still!
