What breed is my hen? A guy gave her to me not knowing her breed.

She is very mean. She bit me and
Wouldn't let go

You have a Production Red pullet. Unfortunately these Production Reds which are sometimes marketed by hatcheries as Rhode Island Reds or New Hampshires, depending on the shade of their red feathers, are sometimes aggressive. You should get a lot of brown eggs from her though.

Looks just like my Production Red pullet. She's not aggressive but she's definitely not the smartest chicken in the hen house.
