Is this a NHR or RIR

Looks Like NHR to be, they are pinker than the RIR.

NHR are lovebugs

And here is Beautiful yesterday, 6 August. Again note her color difference. They are now all 11 weeks old.

And here is another of Beautiful. You can see Violet, the blonder of the two, toward the left. Again, a real nice example, methinks of the color contrast.

And I got these from Clearview Hatchery being told all 7 were RIR!

But I'm not complaining at all with these two 'strange birds'.

This ends my photo session.

Panel, what thinkest thou!!

NHR guy here and I say it is a NHR. RIR's are more mahogany colored than NHR's, they are good birds to have.

I just got another NHR last night and this one is laying eggs.

Anyone care to post a photo of YOUR NHR pullets/hens??

Might help other inquirers in future, too.

???????

Thanks all!

John, here is one of my two 15-wk-old NHR pullets. They are hatchery stock and very lean and rangy in body type, not what I expected. Dont know if this will help any. The second pic was taken a bit younger, but one of the NHs is behind a RIR. Granted this breeder quality RIR is darker than most hatchery birds, but you can see the contrast between the breeds.
