What breed is she??

[Chickeemariee]

Just got a few new hens & this beaut is one of them. Shes a deep red/dark brown with green undertones. It’s hard to see in pictures but that dark coloration is similar to a mallard duck green color. Does anyone know what breed she is?? I’m calling her ducky because the land before time characters (chickens look so much like dinosaurs in my opinion) and because the green is like a mallard duck. She hasn’t laid an egg since I’ve had her but I will come back to update egg color when she does!

Looks like a Rhode Island red to me. The black on the shoulders is unusual.

@TheOddOneOut do you think she could be a mix of some sort? Ive never seen that green coloration on a chicken before

Neither have I, in a RIR at least, but she looks too close to the breed for me to jump to "mix". I think it's more likely she's just a hatchery quality bird - bred for large quantities with breed quality not being a focus. So odd things like discoloration can pop up. She's still a lovely girl, nothing wrong with her, just not a show bird.
