Rhode Island reds???

[PhilSanchez]

Got these 5 young hens from a local farmer, I am not smart enough to tell if they are RI Reds or another breed. Is picture good enough or do I need to show more of the head? Thanks for the help, Phil

Look just like my Rhode Island’s Reds, they are nice birds .

Brick shaped body , nice big eggs , mine are a little skittish, but that’s ok I’ve got silkies if I need to hold a bird

Yep! They all look like healthy, happy RIR! Cute chickens!

Thank you, I had 16 Black sex links for last couple of years now down to one as have slowly lost them to dogs and one persistent raccoon that I have not been able to catch or kill. These young new hens I have had for about a week , a couple have already started to lay. The lone black sex link I now call her “Lucky” is the dominant hen, however they are doing better. Also got a young buff rooster from the same farmer, no crowing as yet. Phil
