Oh and the red one is a Production Red - not a RIR
)
Same here - they are never up to standards from the hatcheries. You can't even compare true heritage RIR with hatcheries. The colour is so many shades darker.You know, I'm glad you brought that up, as I was on the fence about that. It's always hard to tell with hatcheries, as their RIRs are so off-type and light. (I personally think of all hatchery RIRs as Production Reds
. I bet that was my girl. She was a barred rock, and looking back at pics she looks alot darker.
Those look to be a week or two old (ish) so I'm saying all three roosters as well. Late march would = about 8-9 weeks old now, so those combs are WAY too red for girls at that age. They won't get saddle feathers until 12-13ish weeks old.Aggh! Are you guys serious? I was certain that atleast the barred rock was a girl. My daughters named her Hannah, and the white one is Rosie.On a scale of 1-10, are they all definite 10 roos? Sigh...they were for eggs, and my little ones have raised them up as pets.
The white one does have a few spots. We had 4, and something got one of them last week
I don't remember how old they were when we got them, but I can post some pics of them from the week we got them. They were this big around the last week of March...
