What breed is my pullet

[Top Rooster]

heres a picture of her I think she may be a New Hampshire red but I'm not sure.

I think you maybe right, other then that she maybe a Production Red, hard to tell these days with all the red colored hybrids.

I think you are right on New Hampshire Red.

I've been wondering... how would one tell the difference between a NH Red, A RI Red, and a "production" red?

 

[sassysarah]

RIRs are a darker red.

 

[sassysarah]

RIR

New Hampshire Red.

Production Red

 

[thunderclast]

Thanks for the images, that's super helpful! I'm starting to think my "RIRs" are actually just production reds.

 

[sassysarah]

I have had production reds. But the were killed by a opossum!

Ugh, it's always so sad to lose a bird! I have lost 3 birds, but somehow my reds always escape. They tend to be the most skittish in my flock, I think that may have helped them escape.

 

[sassysarah]

Yes, I know!
I am so sorry to hear you lost three birds!!!
