I got a bunch of Golden Buff Sexlinks when they were 2-3 days of age and one of the little pullets were VERY light and almost white but still had a creamy color to her. Today she is 7 weeks and is starting to look like yours. I would imagine she could be a golden buff but turned out really light like mine. I would imagine mine will get more red on her until she looks like the others but i can't tell it's to early.

good luck finding out what she is.

I bet she's an amber-sexlink!

I got 6 Amber-sex-link roosters out of a assorted straight run bin at tractor supply.

Here's pics of them growing up, they all got those spots as they matured too. Took forever to figure out what they were.

If you look up sex links on feather site there is a picture of them too.

hope this helps!

Thank you for this post. My intention this morning was to find out what breed my white chickens were.

Amarook, your pictures were very helpful.

Thanks!! I got my chicks at TS this spring and chose 3 brownish red ones and 3 yellow ( so they would be easier to count). I didn't realize how much they would both change. Being a newbie is fun.

farmerKEN;

It could be a Blue Laced Red Wyandotte (well a F1 or some thing on that line).
You seem to be getting alot of laceing in her.. Here is a picture of a Blue Laced Red Hen.
