Looks like the Red is a little smaller, and might be the loser of the stare-down contest? Are the Reds a little less "Leghorn" attitude, like I have heard?

YES! they are so sweet, and like to be held, picked up,
I didnt know they were a smaller chicken, but I really like them.
I ordered 5 and 3 died just hours after arrival, hypothermia

The reds are not very common, were they from Murray McMurray? Sorry you lost 3!

Yes they were, I have gotten all my chickens from them.
The post office did not keep them warm. This is what they looked like right when I picked them up, there is a photo of the shipping. I got them at 6 am on the 20th and at 5am the 21st, week one died,
then 2 more, they dont recover well.
