Hello BYC friends,howday? :)
I have a question.A breed of chickens here in Macedonia are called "srebrena italijanka" which litteraly translated is "silver Italian".I ordered 10 chicks of this breed,and i wanted to search on the internet about them,but i do not know what breed they are,and i thought that you could help me.Here are couple of pictures:

 
I have no idea about the breed but BEAUTIFUL! and

All the pictures you just posted are leghorns. Leghorns are an Italian breed and are probably called different things over there. I know that at the time they were first imported, they were known locally as Italians or Italian chickens. Here in America, we started calling them leghorns. So "Silver Italians" are Silver Leghorns in the USA. The top one is a Light Brown rooster, the female below him is Barred, and the bottom two are a White pair. The difference between these birds and commercial birds is that the ones pictured have show potential. If you're doing research, searching up leghorns would get you better results :) best of luck with them!
