What breed is my hen?

[MissChicken]

Do you know what breed she is? When she was young I thought RIR, but as she got older it was obvious that she wasn't.
Sorry about the bad picture.

By that picture, I'm guessing RSL. (red se link).

I'd have to say she's a red sex link.

See what color the tips of the feathers are. If they're white, its probably a Red Sex Link. If they're brown, its a RIR. Anyway that's what I've heard

Looks like a Rhode Island Red (Red Sexlinks are usually more orange-ish in color).

 

[MissChicken]

I am positive that she is not a RIR. I had a RIR and she looked nothing like her. She has a pea-ish comb

Well, RIR can have single combs too

(I think RIR can only be single or rose comb, but I'm no expert)
We will need a full body shot to be sure, but looks like maybe a hatchery RIR or RSL.

 

[MissChicken]

Sorry, I wasn't very clear. The hen in the picture has a pea-ish comb. My RIR had a single comb.

she is awfully solid red to be a sex link... looks RIR to me, but it is a limited pic...

She is very red for a sex-link, but I have a sex-link that looks just like her, no white at all except for the base of the feathers.
