What breed?

[Ashley S]

They were sold to me as Cinnamon Queens but I definitely don’t think any of them are. We chose Cinnamon Queens because they’re supposed to be docile. My birds are NOT nice at all

Some look like production reds (hatchery quality rhode island reds) and/or mixes of them. The lacing on one makes me think she's crossed with golden laced wyandotte. She's a Very pretty, unique bird!

Thank you! I was thinking RIR. The one with the lacing is my favorite! She’s actually one of the nicer ones lol she’s the only one that looks like that and I think she’s just beautiful. The one that’s the darkest is the meanest one. I’m pretty sure she’s at the top of the pecking order and apparently she thinks she’s above me too. She flies at my face quite often and drew blood yesterday. I wish she would take after the sweeter ones!

Where did you get them?

You may need to get rid of your meaner bird if she is doing that. It's not worth having her if she is attacking you like that.

I got them from Georgia Mad Hatcher.

I’ve been debating getting rid of her. I keep trying new things to try to calm her down. She’s flown at my face a few times. She pecks me constantly and when I went in there to refill their water she flew up my back. I’ve picked her up a few times and she hasn’t done anything but if she notices me about to pick her up she’ll peck the crap out of me. She doesn’t always peck either... she actually open her beak and snap down on me. It’s been madness. I’ve tried “pecking” her back, holding her, just standing in their coop with them for a while so they can get used to me but she follows me around the whole time I’m in there and terrorizes me. My Husband thinks I’m nuts but I’m convinced she just hates me.

Hm. Well, Cinnamon Queens are red sexlinks and none of these are showing the correct markings for that. I see mixed breed and that darker one makes me question "her" gender. How old?

 

[RoostersAreAwesome]

Production red mix pullets

They were born August 8th so about 3 months old.

Crossbreds. Maybe Production Red crosses.
