Thanks y'all for quick replies ..I jus saw a pic on here of chicks that look jus like mine & someone's response was red sex links ..so I was a bit shocked ..but explains why my "buff orpingtons " have all those dark red feathers !!!
And Red Sex links are awesome! They're really pretty with just enough variety from one hen to the other to tell them apart, easy going, and if they lay eggs as well as I've read here that they do I'm going to be one happy chicken mama!
