For a friend. What breed please?

Closest one appears to be a Rhode Island Red, and the second is a gold laced Wyandotte.
Pictures of the first one's comb would help confirm the breed.

I see a golden laced Wyandotte, standing on the chair plus the pullet on the table who appears to be a red sex link? Just me? Maybe the lighting. Both are pullets

I saw a red sex link BUT rir seems more likely- the lighting makes it hard

I'd call it a production red not Rhode Island Red. Hatchery quality.

Ensure the coop has venting located high up. If a slant roof then vent lower and upper to allow air to rush in along roof line and exit moisture out high side. It's not the cold that injures chickens in winter, it's the moisture turning to frost on them that does. Proper venting out of moisture at roof line is all you need. No drafts on birds, clean air that wont develop frost.

Because the bird is so far from the standards to be Rhode Island Red. Hatchery quality is what it is but when certain breeds become too detached from the standard to be the breed it no longer is. Poor lacing in Wyandotte in one thing, hatchery quality, but there is nothing other than single comb and yellow skin that makes those production reds a Rhode Island Red.

Agreed.

This is the only picture. The owner is being told they will not live thru winter without a heated enclosure. I corrected that for him but I didn't know what breed he had to be sure they were cold hardy.

I’m changing mine, I see a darker tail which is not often present in red sex links. Even though it can be there, I’m going to say RIR or something. Sooo hard to tell if the light coloring on it is natural or just from the flash/lighting

Hmm, if this is not an intrusion of privacy, may I ask where they are located? Knowing would help us decide if the weather is suitable- however I assume that they are fine- they do not require a heated enclosure
