What breed is this? A question I've had for 3 years.

[khatar]

What breed is this hen? I was never entirely sure but I always assumed gold star, though she does somewhat resemble a rhode island red.

I finally decided I need to find out for sure, any suggestions?

SORRY! I forgot to paste the pic, here she is!

Can you post a picture?

Looks like an RIR to me. I'm not experienced with Standard breeds. She also looks blind, did you know that?

 

[khatar]

Yes, I did say she lost one eye above.

She's NOT a RIR, she's not even a production red.

She's a golden comet, or golden comet mix.

 

[Cowgirl71]

That's a Red Sexlink, aka Gold Star, Golden Comet, Red Star, Cinnamon Queen, etc.

Golden Comet (Red Sex Link, etc)

We have one! Tiny hen, big eggs.

Your assumptions are correct. She's a Red Sex-link. They are sold under multiple names, as Cowgirl71 helpfully point out

 

[DancingHen]

I agree...looks like a red sex link.
