Production red pullet (I hope, I hope, I hope!)

or Red Broiler.

I'm almost 8 weeks into my first chicken adventure & got 10 peepers - I split an order form Ideal with TracyDr and we were supposed to have 2 PR's and 2 RB's.

(and 2 Barred Rocks, 2 Australorps & 2 Cornish Crosses)

This is One Dot and she (I hope, I hope, I hope!) is the friendliest, most cuddly bird of the batch!

There is a definite roo in the batch and I'm really hoping One Dot is a well developed Production Red Pullet.

She looks a lot like my Rosemary, a New Hampshire Red - and Rosemary is the friendliest and nosiest hen in my flock.

I'm not as convinced it's a girl. There are a couple tail feathers that are starting to arch downward and I can't see the legs.

Thank you hdowden, CarolJ, HEChicken, polishchickens111 and hcppam - you're tell'n me just what I want to hear! yippiechickie  wee  yippiechickie

BTW - is a New Hampshire red AKA a Production Red?  (or close enough as to make no never-mind?)

nurse_turtle - I'm trying to get a good pict of legs.  Each time I pick her (I hope) up she (I hope) squats down and sets on my arm - cannot see feet.  By the time I got her (I hope) on a table the silly batteries were dead and the Control Tower (read: Beloved wife) did not follow protocol and put the spares in the charger...hugs

I'm going to weld up a couple of brackets for a roost in the coop - I'll get some fancy leg shots in an hour or so.  Then we can confirm!

Thanks again!

A hatchery red bird, for sure.  Does have that hatchery NH look.  The production red is just a colloquial  name for a red bird bred to lay well.  It isn't a breed anyhow.
