Rhode Island Red Hen?

[PolloGal]

Hi. Just wondering what you all think this pullet breed is? Rhode Island red? She seems so ‘small’ and kinda timid for about 10ish weeks old. Is that typical of this breed? I have never had a RIR before…if that’s what she is. Thanks!

Looks like a pullet to me. Mine is the smallest but it's the most prolific layer.

If she was an RIR I think she should have yellow legs.
Where'd you get her?

Almost looks like an Orpington of sorts with the leg color and build. Maybe it is just the pic/lighting

I got her from a neighbor. I just thought she looked ‘out of place’ in his pen with all the larger birds. I just like her. But he said he thought she was a RIR. Her legs are not yellow…so I guess that is out.

Do you mean a Buff Orpington? I don’t really know that breed. Are they reddish as pullets?

I'm not sure what she is...do you know where your neighbor got her?

Orpingtons come in many many different colors, Buff is only one. I don't think she is an Orpington.

Any ideas about her breed? Maybe mixed?
