Interesting! Thank you for explaining the 3 breeds - they do seem to be well mixed up and rather genetically ambiguous! I have an RIR in my existing flock and she has absolutely wonderful temperament and consistent layer so I’d be happy for any variation of her ❤️👍
Yes either are likely guesses, I’ve been looking at New Hampshire reds which seem to be more of a lighter red like this. Production red isnt a breed I knew about but that looks even closer now that you all have mentioned and I’m looking it up.
Hello! I picked up this - what I hope is a hen - from a local shelter a few days ago. The bird is overall auburn colored with black tips on tail and wings. The stance is thin and tall - much taller and more upright than my RIR. I think the bird looks young since there is no red in the very small...
