So would Red be a Rhodey, or a New Hamp???

I would say Rhode Island Red. Heres a pic of my New Hampshire when he was still growing (hence the skinny awkward look) He's way different in color then Red the rooster.

Probably a Rhode Island Red, as New Hampshires are usually a lighter red in color.

Looks like a Rhode Island Red to me. New Hampshire Reds are lighter in color, and aren't as common.

Red is a really pretty, glossy roo, but he sure looks silly when he stands up tall... his neck is VERY long.
Goofy Foot, the Hamp, has discovered he is a boy... but is now trying to mount the Guinea Fowl that run with him everywhere.
Have any of you ever had episodes of cross specie LOOOVE????

I haven't, but I know it can happen, sometimes with interesting results. Here is a story on BYC about a chicken/guinea crossbred: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/263053/miracle-hello-guinea-chicken-crossbreed/840

None of my chickens have done something like this. I do know that some birds do, however. Often, unruly young cockerels are a bit overexuberant about breeding, and will jump on anything that moves. I've even heard that some roosters try to mount cats and other non-birds!
