What breed are they?

[BellaBokBok]

I wasn't with my mum when she bought my chickens as one week old chicks,she told me she had the choice between brown or black and she chose brown ( Next time, it'll be one of each,can't tell them apart anymore!) I don't know what breed they are,some say they might just be production,Rhode Island Reds, or Sex Links, I wanna know! Ahaha if anyone could help me that would be so great

Here they are about 12 weeks old and going through their juvenile molt.

I don't know the various names given to red/gold sex links down under, but yes, that is what they appear to be. Here, in the US, the various hatcheries give them all kinds of cutsie names for marketing purposes.

they look like red sex links, which come in various names here in the US.

Mum said something about them being something like "Isa" browns or something but I dunno she's most likely wrong..

Yes...she is actually right. ISA browns are the name for a red sex-link. They are a cross between a RIR hen and a Rhode Island White roo.

Actually, the ISA Brown is nowhere near that simple a cross. Additionally, the Rhode Island White is so incredibly rare, with less than 3000 known to be in existence. The RIW has a rose comb. Just because all these hatcheries claim to use a RIW in their sex link crosses, doesn't make it so. There is no truth squad going to arrest them. The white bird used is usually pictured and with a single comb no less. LOL

The ISA Brown is a 4 way cross of proprietary, long held flocks of genetically selected grand parent birds.
