Rhode Island Red??

[mdguffey]

i was told this bird is a RI red. i have 4 others and this one is quite different. my other 4 hens have a large comb and large wattles. this one doesn't have much of either. color wise she looks like a RI red. this hen is about 6 to 8 weeks younger than my others. she is the one on the left. its not real important, but just curious. thanks.

The one on the left is a Production Red. Not dark enough to be a pure Rhode Island. The one on the right is a Red Sexlink (Red Star, Golden Comet, etc.)

thanks i was told the one on the right was a new hampshire red??

It's possible. I have seen some New Hampshires with white leakage, but they shouldn't have a lot. Either way both breeds are excellent layers.
