Is she a rhode island red or something else?

Thank you all! I am very pleasantly surprised that we got one so unique and pretty! She seems very sweet and I see more of her personality every day, hopefully I'll get to pick them both up soon and really check her over.

I'm winning them both over quickly with mealworm treats, they have never had them before (the previous owner was grossed out when I brought some as a chicken bribe when we picked them up to get them into the dog crate). I was excited when the previous owner told me over the phone that they were a RIR and WR since we have some RIR, NH, RIW and BR chicks coming this month, since I figured they will get along well. Hopefully she'll still get along just fine with the rest.

Noymira, they are right about that RIW comb thing, I sometimes forget to check combs and that makes all the differance in some breeds. I suspose with that being said she could be WR. Now I am wondering if she has laid any eggs? WR lay brown eggs. I have never seen PR except for in books, so maybe they are both rocks. Pretty girls no matter!

The previous owner said her daughter wouldn't eat their eggs because she had a "brown egg phobia"

, so I kind of got the sense that they both lay brown eggs. We haven't seen any eggs yet, but I keep checking twice a day! LOL We've only had them since Saturday, so I'm hoping they lay soon for us.

Maybe I should stick a golf ball in one of the nesting boxes to give them the idea, they were laying in the back corner of the coop (because they didn't have a roost before and were roosting in the nesting boxes). We added a roost and they seem to love it.
