what are my baby chicks mixed with? pictures included

[degonfler_l'amant]

Today i went to my local hatchery and picked up two baby chicks to replace one whom died of a heart attack in my hand
anyways(= all the clerk was able to tell me is they were mixed with rhode island red and something with white in the name can anyone help me figure out the breed of bird?
and if you have these birds or know anything about them please let me know thanx!

Yeah, you probably picked up a red sex-link. The white ones are males, the brown ones are females. Guess which one you got!

sorry to tell you this but it is almost impossible to tell what breeds went into your very cute chicks, i empathize with the loss, i lost an EE today, 2 1/2 weeks old exploring the yard with momma and the playful beagle decided to play rough...... i feel terrible.

Only thoughts are Rhode Island Red and White Leghorn

Golden sex-links, red sex-links, etc. are generally the same thing. They are bred so that the chicks can be sexed at birth. They are a production creation, two different breeds mixed together in order to produce the sex-linking.
