What breed is my pullet?

[MrsMcnugget]

Pullet... No idea how old she is. Red and cream/white feathers,

with white under coat.

She looks like either a production red, or a red sex-link chicken.

Agreed. Pretty hen!

Thank you! I'm not terribly worried, but my father wanted to know... I just figured she was a "generic" chicken, since she wasn't labeled when we bought her. I'm glad we picked her though, I think she has a scissor beak...and possibly some damage to her top beak. I'll be posting about that in the health issues forum. Thanks!

Thank you! I love her! My Gingerbread.

I agree with red-sex link. They call them by a few names. Red stars, golden buffs, etc.

It's often a cross between a white leghorn rooster and a Rhode Island Red, or similar mix. Hens are red with maybe some white on them, roosters are white with maybe some red on the shoulders.

They are great for eggs.

I had a few of these hens and a couple roosters. The hens were great birds, very good layers and very sweet! One rooster was ok, but the other one was the devil!

I don't see any scissor beak with these images. Where did you get her? Sometimes, if she's been saved from a laying farm, their tips of their top beak are trimmed so they don't pluck each other to death.

Great name, too! She looks like a sweet girl!
