TCS told us we had RIR

[Carenm]

Now seeing another post I am thinking they aren't????

WHAT are they??


This picture was from they were a week old. They are now almost 3 weeks and all this time I thought we had RIR's

Why are you thinking they are not?

I cannot really see them well enough to tell.

Maybe New Hampshire reds? Still look a little light though...do their feathers have darker banding? Or are they consistently light?

So far they are light feathered

red sex links! i know it. too light to be rir, too light for production reds or cherry eggers, and the chipmunk markings give it away.

Here they are today at 3 almost 3 weeks

TSC!!! They just crack me up. I am ok with them not being RIR's but wow, they have no idea do they??

Don't feel bad the feed store sold me Cornish x's as buff orpingtons.

TSC always gets "assorted reds" and from that bin I have gotten 2 RIR cockerels and one red-sexlink pullet.

If your TSC employee though that all red chickens are RIR, I wouldn't be one bit surprised

Ok, now I can see them better.

No, not RIR's. But, if they are Golden Comets (sex links) those lay really really well, and you will be happy with them.

I think the feed stores don't always know.

It is sort of like the humane shelter--everything little is a terrier cross, and bigger dogs are a shepherd cross if furry, and a lab cross if black and short haired...

I have never had a hatchery mess up though.
