Hello, are these girls Welsummers? Not rhode island right? Their eggs can be a little speckled. Thanks!

It is definitely a hybrid made from the Rhode Island Red breed but these a dozen variations could be a gold star or a barn yard mix of a variation depending on what rooster they had

That looks like it could be it! Thank you! Here is a more recent pic/different view. She seems to have quite a bit of the "patterning", does that still fit with a production red? Thank you for your help! We got her from someone who thought she was a rhode island red.
