What breed are we?

[delawaregirl09]

My 4 Pullets are bugging me ever since I got them from Atwoods. I was told they were New Hampshire Reds, and when they started feathering, I learned it was a lie. There are so many different breeds they could be, but I need help in figuring it out. Well, here are some pics of my girls and of a Red Star / Buff Orpington cross Rooster that I have. (I'm calling him a red star cross for now, but who knows.)

Red or Golden Sex link

yep

Those are the closest. But what about the ISA Brown. They all look basically the same to me:/

The ISA brown/golden sex-link/ brown sex-link, etc. are all theoretically the same thing.

Each hatchery has it's own "brand" of chicken and that "brand" is named according to the hatchery.

For example:
A golden sex-link at one hatchery may be called a "Golden Comet" whereas at another hatchery, it's called a "Golden Star". This is just an example.

They are all sex-links, but each has it's own little "name" that is denoted by the hatchery.

Oh, okay! Now I understand. That makes sense now, but you'd think they would make it all less confusingly. Thank you very much. Is it the same with the black sex link? I have a black sex link pullet, but I was told she doesnt look like one.

She's got way more red than I've ever seen in a black sex-link girl.

Black sex-links have no standard to go by, so generally speaking...if the color fits....

Am I mistaken or are those white ears on bologna? It looks an awful lot like my Buff Minorca's here is a picture of one of mine.Please excuse the feathers...recovering from a leg injury after a buddy knocked her off the roost

3.5 months in the picture.

Um, HBuehler, are you SURE that's a pullet?
