This is one of my recently hatched (4 weeks and 2 days) chicks. This one is definitely growing quickly! I posted other pictures of him in a couple of different threads, but never really asked about what type he may be. He's from a free-range flock that has both a Rhode Island Red and Cream Legbar roosters (one each). There are Cream Legbar hens and Rhode Island Red hens. They are from a hatchery and the RIRs are allegedly "heritage".
He was from a medium-colored brown egg, so I'm sure his mama is a RIR. I'm including a photo of him as at a few different ages. The reason I'm interested in confirming he's full RIR is that the farm where I got the eggs said that they'd like to replace their rooster and that they were interested if I hatched a RIR male.
The first photo is at 14 days.
The second photo is at 24 days old.
The last two are from today, 30 days from hatching.
What do you think?
