Is this a Red Star Sex Link or a Rhode Island Red? She's 3 months old.

She's a Production Red (hatchery "red" bird).

I agree with Wyandttes7. She looks like a Production Red.

Agree on the above. The hatchery red sex links usually have white tips and tails. Her color and build aren't right for a Rhode Island red. She's what we call a production red, or cherry egger, which is a bird based on a Rhode Island red or New Hampshire, but with other breeds along the way to boost production.

Thanks, everyone. This was really helpful.

well, i think it might be rir or nhr

her legs are yellow and she seems young, so not all filled out yet.
and i think i see a little black, like a hatchery rir
or better yet, a new hampshire red?
how about a couple more pics?

from what i can see, her face is red. cant go wrong either way!

i enjoy guessing. is the other a black star?
can anyone who is more educated or knowledgeable about this,

remark on my so called"clues"?

I have three Rhode Island Reds and at that age they had darker red feathers and looked different so I'm still thinking she's a Production Red.

Here are my 3 RIRs (and a White Rock) at 2 1/2 months.

She's not a dark enough mahogany to be a pure RIR and she's too dark to be a NHR. She's a Production Red.
