No those don't look like what I expect from a production red. But they are pretty ladies. I wanna say they do look like one of the sex links or hybrids. And they do mix names around quite a bit. But yes, pretty ladies.

My girl doesn't peck me and is extremely human friendly. She's pretty fine with other girls and ALWAYS defends them from the cockerels' advances when he's in for conjugal visits! Maybe she's just butch.

Funny creatures. Yes, every single one of them is an individual. After more than 100 birds, no two have been exactly the same.

ETA- Not at all what I think of as a nasty bird. I just hope it doesn't progress that way because we do like her a lot.

Since the food question came up I want to add that layer feed isn’t good for chicks either. Really it should only be given to actively laying pullets/hens. Giving it before they start laying can stunt their development and delay the start of laying.

Wouldn’t these be red sex links? I see white feathers which I think is usually a feature in sex links. They have so many different names in the US, depending on what hatchery they came from. They are supposed to be great layers too.

@Hybridchucks

Your birds are red sex links..... there are a number of different "brand names" for them, both here in the UK and in the USA..... ISA Browns, Lohmanns, Golden Comets etc.
You can distinguish red sex links from production reds because they have white flecks and white under fluff and the benefit of them is that they can easily be sexed at hatch by colour.

Production Reds are a RIR/NH hybrid as Eggsighted4Life explained and both male and female are the same colour.

@Jayboss

What type of comb does your girl have? If a pea comb I'm thinking perhaps a Buckeye. If it's a single comb then possibly a sex link or more likely a mixed breed bird since there is both dark and white flecks in the feathers.
