Tractor Supply Co Sexing - Accurate?

They look just like my golden Cuckoo Maran chicks. Although by buff Brahmas also look like this.

Buff Brahmas have darker heads, solid colored bodies and feathered legs. Marans would have barring and a dot on the head.

Definitely something red, but not sex links. I still would guess production reds, RIR or maybe New Hampshires.

I guessed Production Red, too. Not sure. I have 8 RIR's, and none of them as chicks looked exactly like that, so I wasn't sure about RIR's - could be my faulty memory, though.

Buff Brahmas have darker heads, solid colored bodies and feathered legs. Marans would have barring and a dot on the head.

I know mine aren't Marans, but all but one of them has some sort of dot on it's head (the one without it has a darker head, which might be a RIR) - is that a production red characteristic?

Not golden Cuckoo marans.

Our TSC has straight run and pullet chicks in the same bin. I couldn't tell the breeds apart at a glance.
