What are these?

I ordered 2 Jersey giants from the feed store....this is what they grew into. What are they? They are great chickens, so I guess it doesn't really matter, but I'm very curious!

could you get a side shot of one?

I'll try tonight, it's hard to get a clear shot-they rush and peck the camera . Here is a shot from away on the darker of the two (on the bottom) and a top shot of the bigger one (pic on top).

production reds it looks like could also be red sex links but i'm leaning towards production red

The one on the bottom looks like it could be a red star but the top one has me baffled. It looks like a buff columbian of some breed but I'm not sure what with a straight comb. hmm...
ETA- maybe a sussex? And on second look they are def the same breed, nevermind the red star comment.

I thought maybe some kind of sussex too. A mystery it remains....at least I know what the other 7 are lol.

I have one just like that I got from TSC last year from the straight run bin. Looks more buff orp to me than red sex link, I have had 2 red sex links who were very red. Always wondered what she was.

Hatchery New Hampshire, the black neck and tail feathers combined with their reddish gold color give them away

Thanks!

That's my guess as well, but I do see buff in there too! Gorgeous mixes, to be sure. Certainly not any "breed", for sure, but nonetheless, they look wonderful.
