I was sold these as part of a dual purpose assortment. They are sexed pullets. The options that they could be, are: ISA brown, Red Sussex or possibly RIR(though I didn't think they were sex-able at hatch). They were not identified on the packing label aside from being pullets. All were orange when they arrived as day olds so I assumed ISA's but now that they are feathering out I am perplexed.

Thanks for any ideas you may have. :)

Yes, RIR are "sexable at hatch"....they are vent sexed which is about 90% accurate....this method is applied to all breeds that aren't autosexing or sex-linked hybrids.....RIR pullets would be readonably included in an assortment such as yours.
