Rhode Island Red???

[WickyKitty]

I believe one of my hens is a Rhode Island Red, but I'm not positive. I've read that they have yellow legs, but hers are green-gray.
Any idea what breed she could be? She is bigger than my Dominique

Not an RIR, she looks like an Egger of some sort.

Spurs don't even come in on cockerels. Only on roosters. Sometimes hens.

Looks like one, just without the beard gene, I have seen some pop up like that though...

Cockerels start growing in spurs between 5-6 months of age. Full spurs finish out pointed within a year, or two. Rooster are 1yr+.

She is not yet. Her & the Dominique are 19 weeks old today

Oh, okay. Just had to ask.

Update when she starts laying? I'm betting on her being an Easter Egger.

My Dominique laid her first eggs!
Still waiting on the suspected Easter egger

I should add that at first we thought she was a rooster bc she "struts" like one and had little bumps on her feet that we thought would eventually be spurs. She has a single comb with little spikes

She's some sort of mixed breed.

Where did she come from?

Definitely not a Rhode Island Red, I have three and they’re a much deeper mahogany.

As in an Easter Egger? That would be exciting!

My son's class hatched eggs as a project in April. We adopted 2 when they were 4 days old. The teacher had gotten the eggs from Atwood's and was told they were "assorted eggs." The Dominique was easier to identify
