What breed are these girls?

[Jmmclaughlin610]

7ish weeks old. What breed could they possibly be?

Look slightly different than I remember my RIR looking.

 

[JedJackson]

They look RIRs to me.

 

[TheOddOneOut]

RIR is my guess. Just lighter, which can happen with hatchery stock.

Agreed, RIR. I've got a New Hampshire Red and she's a bit lighter (more rust than burgundy) as per the breed but otherwise they look quite similar.
Your little cuties might just be from a different strain than you had before or maybe they're going though that awkward tween stage we all suffered through and want to burn every bit of photographic evidence of.

Look exactly like my RiR hens at that age.

My NHR hen was absolutely the sweetest, most talkative chicken I've ever had. I LOVE the breed!
