Rhode island red? production red or new hampshire red??? which one i have been trying to figre this

[amillecay]

What would you say this is? I don't know it's so confusing!

This is the same chicken on the right when it was little it's a pullet i just don't know! Two different ones to choose from and they both look so much alike so whats the final thing New hampshire or Production red?!

Does not have the deep, rich color of a true RIR. Hatchery stock? Barnyard bred bird? It is likely a production red. These can be excellent laying hens. Looks for all the world like a pullet to me.

Yeah she hasn't started laying yet but i think she is a pullet thats what I meant anyway thanks just wanted to know

looks like a production red or other words..a red sex link. very good layers. i heard there pretty nice to. Cute girl u have there

 

[tec27]

Definitely a pullet. Definitely not a RIR. Like what others have already mentioned...red sex linked like a red star, or just some mutt. Will probably be an excellent layer nonetheless.

 

[amillecay]

Awesome thanks!

most sex links don't have the black neck feathers this one does. Looks like some version of a new hampshire possibly. pretty

I thought production reds were a different breed all together than sex links?
