yeah or a RIR,maybe?? Here is mine and people have said she is a RIR. I really have no clue. Got her at a flea market here in town. She is a year 1/2

Sillystunt, your hen is probably a cross of some sort, though from the black in the hackles, she may have New Hampshire in her. That comb is not a normal single comb, is it?

The first hen is a red sexlink.

IMO Production Red because of the slight white feathering

I agree:

Sillystunt's hen is very pretty, but not a RIR

A production red is basically the hatchery's version of a RIR and they do not have white feathers.

The bird on the right is our production red/hatchery RIR:

Cinnamon Queen. I have 16 of them and they look Exactly like your hen.

They are GREAT layers and easy keepers.

I am new to the forum, I got ISA brown's--is that the same as red sexlink? Mine look just like that first hen.
