Same breed?

[chiefbig1]

Got these chicks a couple weeks ago from a local feed store. They said these were RIR hens. The thing is, 2 have a lighter colored, yellow head and the other 2 have the dark head. Are the yellow heads RIR? The dark heads look like RIR to me. The yellow heads also have larger feet and legs. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

i believe those are production reds (hatchery RIRs.. have had other breeds etc crossed into them). which is why they're lighter. and looks like they have white

Production reds or perhaps even Red sex links

Technically, they are RIR. They all may have come from the same flock. Sometimes you will get that. Even in my show birds I will get a light one now and then, it's a gene thing.

Looks like the typical genetics of production red birds!

Enjoy them! They have such fun personalities!
