what kind of chicken is this ?

[jbirds2012]

last feb our neighbor told my husband that one of her girls was going to hatch some eggs for her 4-h project so he bought 32 eggs on ebay and 12 hatched. of the 12 four were hens and we have been wondering what kind of chickens they are. can anyone help us out there ? this is an update with better pictures. i think she is a very pretty bird, she kinda looks like a rhode island red and in the bottom pic she's next to two, but a lighter color. when i was looking in the "breeds" tab she kinda looks like a "production" but im really not sure.

i have a chicken that looks just like that but she is small everyone is saying she is a Batam

 

[maidenwolfx80]

Bantam refers to the size. There are heavy, large, medium and bantam.
