I was given this chicken today (sadly, her two flock mates were killed by a hawk). I am told she is a "red leghorn". SO, I'm wondering what theopinions are here - brown leghorn? RIR? red sexlink? I am told "she" is 2-3 months old. Would appreciate opinions on breed, and also sex (and, age too)

TIA

She looks a lot like our RIRs in size, feathering and comb growth. They are around two months old now.

I agree. Definitely an RIR. RSLs can be dark, but not that dark. 2 months old sounds about right. She's a very pretty pullet, by the way :)
 
Thanks for all the replies :-) Iknow know I have a RIR pullet, approximately 2 months old. And, yes, she is a pretty pullet, carm when handled, but, wow, is she fast - I think there's some road runner in there LOL.
I am happy to have her, she has been raisied on 50/50 scratch & layer

- I hope there's no permanent ill effects - I'm looking forward to switching her to a good grower.
