We got the same fellows in our Ideal order almost three weeks ago, and we are pretty sure they are RIR. We ended up giving all but 1 to our local feedtsore, didn't really want that many roos. we did end up keeping on, Elmer, due to the fact that he had a bad case of the pasties in his rear, and felt/knew that he wouldn't make it at a feedstore. Elmer is doing much better, he has no butt fuzz, but hope his feathers will come in as they should.
Boy he has had pasty butt, to and fro, since we got him, so naming him Elmer ( glue) was a good thing.

If not RIR maybe New Hampshire Red?

Looks like a RIR to me also. I got New Hampshire Reds from Ideal and they are a lot lighter. I got 4 packing peanuts with my order - Naked Necks (Turkens), 2 white, 1 black and one red.
