What are our TSC chickens?

That crossing isn't all ways used in fact I think only 1 or 2 hatcheries might use that crossing..

Most Production Red are one of two crosses one is a Rhode Island Red with Leghorn crossed in there somewhere down the line the other was bred solely from the Rhode Island Red...
(Just like the New Hampshire was bred solely from the R.I. Red)
The breed is a New Hampshire not a New Hampshire Red

I have 2 like your #6 Puff. I got them out of the bin labeled Black Sex Link (among others), but they don't look anything like the BSLs I got from there last year. Mine had gold around the neck, not the whitish lacing like yours. Hopefully someone will know what they are. Mine are around the same age and have no red in the combs and no wattles, I am wondering if your 'Puff' is a boy?

#1 and #2 were picked out of an amber-sex link bin along with #7 and #8.
#3 and #4 were in the same bin as #5 and #6, called black austraorps.

That's why I was so confused as they grew and didn't resemble what I thought I purchased. Are you all sure both black ones are boys? We aren't keeping any roos.

I would say the 2 black ones are roosters...

If they labeled the bins the same as mine, there was Australorps on there as well and it was a straight run bin. Both of mine have some sort of lacing on their chests, one has a lot more than the other.


Here are my two black ones from TSC.

#1

#1

#2

#2

I don't really see any red wattles or red in the comb on mine, so yours might be boys.
