Am I a leghorn?

they are mutts, aren't they? why can't they have pea combs

I bet they got this bird from TSC, doubting they have fancy breeds like you mentioned

The bird pictured doesn’t have a pea comb. That’s a walnut comb (or cushion comb, which is a type of walnut). Walnut combs are dominant to single combs, so if cornish x had the genetics for walnut combs, there would be a lot with them. I’ve never seen a cornish x without a single comb.

Chanteclers are available from several hatcheries, one of which is cackle, which is one of the biggest hatcheries.

I'm with the cornish x guesses

I never said a CornishX. I meant a pure breed Cornish

They said it was in an order from a hatchery they got. And Cornish X have single combed parent stock which means they will have single combs

It has a walnut/cushion comb, not a pea comb. Looks like a white chantecler.

I agree!

I agree that it looks like a white Chantecler. Wanted to confirm by asking where it came from. Did OP ever answer?

Ah, I see they did not. Still think it's a Chantecler.

Thanks for all the responses! We got this batch from The Chic Hatchery and I actually did get a "rare breed" order with my colored eggers I ordered and of course, they threw extras in! I'll look up the several you all mentioned!

I just checked The Chic Hatchery website and they do have a White Chantecler chicken listed, and it looks like what this chick will look like eventually.

Yep. Agree it's white Chantecler-thank you!! It's been chest bumping with my Mottled Houdan roo (who had the cutest 1st "crow" yesterday haha!) so just wondering if "she's" actually a "he".
