I got these two hens with a coop off Craigslist. I was told they were RIR. Don't think they are red enough for those, and they appear to be 2 different breeds. Haven't been able to match them to any of the breeds on this site, so they might be some mixes.
Laya is a golden color with greenish legs. Large single comb. Huge fuzzy butt. Laying brown eggs, 5-6 per week. I was thinking a BO, but they are supposed to be docile and this big girl is AGGRESSIVE. (not towards me. just the dogs, the cat, the other chickens, wild birds in the yard, and one of these kids who might have been harassing her a bit) She puffs up and scares everything off. Pecked the dog on the head a few times. (chihuahua, not a fast learner). And she will body block anyone trying to get her treats.
Red is a darker orange-red. Smaller single comb. Legs are yellow. Lays brown eggs, 5-6 per week. Has some dark tips on her tail like maybe a Catalana. She also looks a lot like our 4 month old Red Stars. Shes pretty docile, except the occasional nips at the pullets. She also squats down when I try to pet her, so I think I must be the rooster to her. I thought I was just the treat-giver-outer.
