what breed is this?

Looks like a Production Red (hatchery quality Rhode Island Red) to me.

Any ideas on this Roo --- on the right? Was suppose to be a RIR from tractor supply.
 
I would definitely say Dark Cornish if she has the pea comb. When she gets bigger she should have a lot of breast meat when you pick her up and her feathers should be 'hard' and glossy compared to other chickens. Interested to see the outcome.
I would say you are right about her being dark Cornish, the difference between her feathers and the barnevelders are -- barnies have more fluorescent green in the black part and a lighter more ginger brown part, where the Cornish is just a flat black and darker brown. Here is a recent updated photo.
