Production Reds

[KBHatchery]

Ok , so we made a irrigation system using concrete and pipes, easy clean easy drain. but one thing that was not accounted for was the space in between the door and the irrigation... turns out it was big enough for the hens to creep under the door through the irrigation and into their neighboring runs..... RiRs were in with pearl white leghorns... and White leghorns in with RiRs. so I noticed that some of the whites that I had hatched had traits or RiRs.. black spots on head and darker beaks... Sold them to neighbors and hatch more chicks. This time it was a batch of RiR eggs... now some of the RiRs look to have traits of Pearl White Leghorns (maybe) I need help from experienced RiR breeders... Below are some pics of a RiR chick that I think is a cross breed... I want to keep it to see if they have the egg ability of the Pearl White Leghorn but the heartiness of the RiR. (That would be so cool!!!)

Is this a production red?

Appears to be. Looks a little smaller than a typical PR, but depends on her breeding also. When she fills in her feathers she will probably be a beautiful chicken.

Thank you. And when she fills her feathers, she will not just be pretty, but warmer in the cold.

Lol, chicks would be nice tho...

Mine is the sweetest thing. When the other chickens are being mean, she runs up to me and looks up. She only stops following me when I pick her up. Lol, she is very friendly, surprising since where she can't from wasn't good at all.

Luna, the only chicken she fears terribly is plotting something in the background

Hi guys!

I think my hen, Blu, is a production red. I honestly cant tell the difference between that and Rhode Island Reds, but I think she is a production red. Here are some pictures of her.
