What cross would make this color chicken?
Possibilities are:
Copper/red color Japanese bantam rooster w/ RIR or BR or BO hen.
She is darker than a buff, but lighter than a RIR, and half the size of her
12 week old, totally barred, hatch mate.
Lessons I learned about managing a flock since November... Some things I'd do different, and some things i'll never do again.

This bator was made from the styrofoam used to ship a 15' benQ monitor, made it on a snow day in about 2 hours, it has taken days to get the temp right.
It's still air, with a 1/2" vent hole near the bulb and another on the opposite long side near the bottom.
Inside measurements 5"deep x 15"...
Old farmer said he had "about 90" of these running in his barn, I had a weak moment and brought 6 of them home.
