What Breed Are My Chickens?

[ChickensMomma]

Hello Everyone! Im excited to read everyones experience,bask questions and even answer. I have been raising my three chickens since a week old. They are now 14 weeks and still growing has been an amazing adventure. My 3 year old niece and I have partnered up and have been their momma.

A family friend bought me 6 chicks and I never knew what breed they were. I've searched and searched and I think I have an idea but not sure. Can anyone help me with their breed? Also, out of the six I kept only three and at 14 Weeks Old, I still can't tell if I have hens or roosters. I'll put a small timeline of photos.b

they love their dirt baths!

Hi

Glad you could join the flock! X2 they are red sex links. I started my chicken adventures with 2 of these and they were excellent egg layers and a reasonably friendly bird. You have pullets/hens there. They are a hybrid chicken and are bred so they can be sexed at hatch and the boys removed, therefore sex links.

Wishing you the very best of luck with them in the future, I have really enjoyed looking through your time line pics. Be sure to ask any questions that you may have, everyine here to help and very friendly.

Enjoy BYC and all the chicken chat

Welcome to BYC. Glad you decided to join our flock. You definitely have Red Sex Link pullets which are laying machines. You should get loads of large, brown eggs from those girls. ) Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. Good luck with your RSL pullets.

Hi, welcome to BYC!

I hope you enjoy your RSL girls as much as we do ours. They are some of the most curious & friendly birds in our mixed flock, plus, they give wonderful big brown eggs almost every day.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. There is a lot of information available here.

Nice to have you join us!

They lay tons of eggs, maybe you could sell some eggs to pay for their feed bills.
