What breed of chicken is this?

[mhopson19]

We got our 6 pullets from TSC. They are red pullets. They all look pretty much the same. Can anyone tell me what breed they might be?

Not a breed.

These are popular red sex link birds. These commercial brown egg laying hybrids are very popular. They'll mature quickly and lay nice, large, brown eggs in abundance. Enjoy them.

I have twelve red pullets I also picked up from tsc. They are now 8 weeks old and yours look just like mine. I suspect that they are golden comets (aka red stars, red comets, golden reds). They're a RIR mix. Really great chickens, I hope this helped

Yep red/gold links.. they're the best chickens we've had!

Are they good in winter? I live in Central Illinois so we hoped to get chickens that wouldn't have too much trouble in the wintertime.

They'll do just fine. Folks keep them in climates much colder than central IL.

Alright, That's great. I love these girls. As you can see they have no problem sitting where ever you put them LOL They love to sit on my shoulder and just hang out.

Yes they do very good in all climates.. especially warmer areas.. they do slack off laying a bit when moulting.. other than that they're great!
