I am new to having chickens when I got my chicks I was told they were Golden Comets, but after looking the breed up I think they had it wrong. Anyone have any ideasIMG_0183.jpgIMG_0186.jpgIMG_0182.jpg

Leghorn or a Leghorn hybrid (California White, etc) is my guess

It's hard to tell from the pics.  Do they have any coloration on them at all, or are they pure white?  If they are pure white, I'd say Leghorns.  If they have splotches of dark feathers, Tetra-tints.  If they have very light splotches of red or brown, they are Amberlinks.

Let me guess.....they came from TSC?  If so, I had the same problem, I got 15 chicks from them a few months ago from the "Red Pullet Bin" 7 of them turned out to be white rocks, 6 of them are Goldens, and 2 of them are Amber links. Here's a pic of one of my white's. They are now 4 months old.
