What are these chickens?

[MelissaRatz]

I bought these chickens from a hatchery and they referred them as "special blacks" and "special browns" What is their actual breed name?

I can't see the dark chickens very well but your red ones are Red Stars (also known as a red sex link, Cinnamon Queen, and etc..)

The special blacks is what the rooster is too... Thanks for the help

Are the special blacks the same chickens in your avatar? If not, could you get a closer picture of them?

 

[MelissaRatz]

No they are not

You've got Black Sex Links and Red Sex Links. Every hatchery has their own "recipe" for making them and calls them by a different name. Basically, a hybrid chicken that can be color sexed at hatch and lays lots of brown eggs. Since they are auto-sexing hybrids and not breeds, they will not breed true.

x2, though a closer picture would help.
