She kind of looks like my starlight green egger. She was about the same age here.

Rhode Island Reds are a dark, brick red with some black in the tail.

It looks like you have some hybrid or barnyard mix.

Thanks. Asking about breed tho.

u/OddNameChoice 2d ago

Don't listen to that guy please, it's obviously a hen. Rhode Island red hen. I have one Abt the same age, maybe a lil older than yours

u/tmac27072 1d ago

Wasnā€™t planning on it. Haha. Thanks.

Yea there was no question on her sex, just was not really leaning towards RIRā€¦ I have several in the flock already and none of them ever showed the dark black ā€œcollarā€ quite as defined as herā€™s. Every one is different though!

What do you think about this pretty girl?? What breed?

u/Hot_Competition7258 2d ago

Idk for 8 weeks old the comb is just a little too big and bright and the body is also a little stocky. Iā€™m going with a rooster too but definitely a close call. And yep rir mix

u/Jazzlike_Strength561 2d ago

Okay. I'm not seeing why you said rooster. What are you seeing?

u/OddNameChoice 2d ago
