ID of some TSC chicks

[bigchrisb1985]

I bought some chicks at tractor supply that didn't have any sign saying what they were other then pullets. I will describe them now and post a pick later when I find my camera. They are white/light yellow with a few black spots. The lady there said she thinks they lay an off white or cream colored egg but she didn't know the breed.

California white maybe?

They look like the Tetra Tint I got this year at TSC. She is my favorite such a friendly and gutsy little creature, always the first to try something new.

Look like California Whites to me. Great egg layers and I love the random black feathers.

I called TSC this evening and the person I talked to wasn't much help. He said that he thought they were Andalusian but he wasn't sure, and couldn't get anyone else to the phone right then. But I could call back later. I think yall are right and they are California whites

I can tell you exactly what they are, I have 13 of them in my brooder! They are called Austra Whites, they are a Australorp/White Legorn mix. I'm excited about them, they are suppose to be more docile like the Australorp and they lay a white egg.

These are mine.

thanks those look just like mine. I only got 6 of them but I also got 6 red pullets and 3 plymoth barred rock strait run.

I bought three Australorp Cockerels this spring in order to breed them with my white Leghorns and my Austrolorps. They can lay a white or cream colored egg.
