What breed is my new chick?

[supernova]

Hi, I'm completely new to chickens and unexpectedly obtained this little chick. Any info on what kind she might be would be great! I tried to tell myself by comparing photos but I really stink at it so far lol. I'm still learning alot of new things about chickens

Looks like a Production Red to me.

I agree.

Does that mean she will be big? From what I understand "bantam" means smaller and then there's the classification of "large" which is just what it sounds like.

Yes, she is a standard sized, also known as large fowl, bird and will probably weigh 5-6 lbs. when fully grown.

Bantams are often referred to as "minature" chickens. Some have standard sized breeds, others do not. Production Reds are not really a "breed", per say, but a mixture of pure and/or hybrid of any dual-purpose, red-feathered, and brown-egg laying breed, such as hatchery New Hampshires, hatchery Rhode Island Reds, Red Sex-Links, etc. So yes, yours will be standard-sized.
