RIR Cockerels or Hens?

[clandeboyechickens]

Our RIR are 6 weeks. I believe we have them indentified, but as we are newer to RIR, I am hoping for confirmation or direction.

#1- RIR by feeder is one we question here and there. This one developed tail feather first and then comb.
#2 - 8 Cockerels TBC (one production red obvious rooster).
#3 - Suggested Cockerels (again)
#4 - RIR Hens?
#5 - RIR Hens?

Thanks for your help!

I agree with the original guesses. In number four however, one of the pullets looks like either a New Hampshire or Buff Rock, I can't really tell in that lighting

First 3 pics all cockerels, last 2 are pullets. Not sure on breeds.

All except the last two pics look like cockerels to me.

We question it too, but in another post I had earlier on, one had told us they’ve seen production reds look as such. One of our rooster is similar. We shall see. Thanks so much!

Yep, Production Red or New Hampshire. In my opinion most red hatchery birds could be called Production Reds when compared to the real, heritage SOP version which I have raised. The difference is astounding and mine lacked any of the temperament problems prevalent in hatchery stock too. I think you can call him what you want!
