I got this hen at a local market as a RIR. She's long gone now, so I don't have any more pics then these. She had white earlobes, laid whitish, almost pink eggs, had white skin, some black in the wings and tail and a single comb. She was about the size of a leghorn or thereabouts, and I'm not sure if this helps but quite noisy. She was braver than what I would say is a normal chicken and was never broody.
Here are the pics:
I am guessing she is a mutt, but hoping not as I don't currently have such a beautiful red chicken and am still searching for one.
What kind of breeds could be crossed to produce this hen? I know RIR lay brown eggs and have large combs.....
ETA: I forgot, the eggs were small and only slightly larger than a silkie egg. This could have been due to diet though. She was still on grower, not layer, and mainly free ranged and ate what she could find.
