Hatcheries don't sell anything remotely close to a True Rhode Island Red.
The best way to look at it is if it comes from a hatchery then it is a production breed.
Production Red, Production Plymouth Rock, Production Orpington and so on.

If you want to get a good idea what a True Rhode Island Red should look like try this link https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=407294 it is to the Official Heritage Rhode Island Red Site here on BYC.

idk. it seems rhode island red have a darker more burnt shade of red....well according to google images it looks like a purebred RIR is dark. the more the bloodline gets diluted, the more shades of tan and light reds seem to be more prevalent...
just a guess.
anywayz....these dang hens have become so used to me that when i try to feed them treats and stuff they dont even wait for me to open my hand before they start pecking on it. (weird feeling) then i have to bump the most aggressive one away for a minute..so, they havent laid an egg yet. its been like 1.5 weeks. i wonder when they will lay?
any guesses? ill post up pics of my first egg if it ever gets here
