Hey all! I'm new to the chicken world and a new member on here

I was wondering if anyone had ideas as to what this girls breed is? She's about 4 1/2 months old. I thought she may be a leghorn, but she has grey legs. Thanks for your input!

Welcome to BYC! Her body shape is about right for a leghorn but as you said, her feet are slate black when they should be yellow for a leghorn. Im not sure on breed then other than it could possibly be a cross???
 
Thank you

Yes, that's what I was thinking as far as tail and body shape. I got her from Murray McMurrays, she was supposed to be an araucana, but as she got older I didn't see the "cheeks" on her face. I thought McMurrays only did purebreds, but I really have no idea what she is! Lol Thank you for your reply.
 
Often times hatchery purebreds(?) are so off the target it's hard to tell if it's poor quality or a mix. Whatever she is, she is lovely
 
probably a whiting true blue. the name is supposed to refer to the eggs, they come in all sorts of colors and kinda look like that.

If she lays blue or green eggs then that is it.

yep go to their whiting true blue, look at the second pic showing a flock of birds and there are a bunch just like her including some whites and mostly whites. problem solved,

Wow! Thank you so much! I will definitely look into that. A couple more weeks and I will see what she lays.

If all of these birds have yellow legs, and my girl has grey legs, could she still be a whiting true blue? Other than the legs, she looks exactly like these guys! Could it also be that leg color is unimportant, because this is basically a mutt breed?

Hmmm… things aren’t lining up. Barred Rock, Cuckoo Marans, or Dominique?
