Hello,
Wanted to see if I can get an idea of what breed chicken I have here. I purchased what I thought were two leghorns, 1 male 1 female, from my local feed store. The rooster is turning into a nice looking leghorn but I don't know what the hen is exactly. She's white with silver or what might be called white legs. She carries herself high on her haunches and has a slim build to her. Her face is what strikes me the most. When looking at her in the face, if it weren't for her size, I'd swear she was a pigeon. Docile bird, about the same size as her leghorn counterpart. I've looked at the breed charts, her slim build and the way she stands looks like some sort of Game. I guess it's hard to get a purebred these days with all the crossbreeding that goes on in the chicken yard.
