This was labelled as a RIR at a feed store but it's starting to look very different from my other reds. Red mix?

What is different about it? Is it a little bit lighter in color? Some Rhode Island Reds are a little lighter in color. It might be a New Hempshire Red. They are both very similar in color, but the New Hempshire Red tend to be a lighter color.
But it looks like a Rhode Island Red to me. Do you have a picture of your other Rhode Island Reds?
 
It looks like a pea comb almost. I'm only used to seeing large single combs on RIR

My other reds are old fat hens with large single combs. Different purchases from long ago
Ok. Yeah, they don’t have pea combs. It must be a mix of some sort. I have had Cinnamon Queens and they look similar, other than having some black on them. Cinnamon Queens are a mix between Rhode Island Reds and Silver Laced Wyandottes.
