Any idea on the breed?

Thank you! Yep, it looks like a pullet. The feet are huge on her, so it will take time to grow into them!

Great looking chickens :) Disregard the other post lol I asked about it being a girl. So with my guy/girl being 5 1/2 weeks old he/she should have a comb by now if it were a boy, well if he is really a she lol looks like her life has just been extended lol. I plan to keep all the females.

Actually it the time really depends. My first Jersey Giant layed around 7 months the second one 6 months. I've only had 2 Jersey's make it to laying time (because of a Marek's outbreak) So i'd wait 5-9 months on a Jersey Giant.

Ok so another question then lol sorry. So if she is a pullet will she lay later since she grows slower or will she lay around the same time as the others? Just curious.

Thank you for all your help. Well I guess I should pick her a name out lol. I purposely didnt name or play with any of the supposed boys since they were suppose to be meat birds, I didnt want to get attached. Go figure lol. This poor chick is so unsocial compared to my other girls, I guess I got some work to do on her to try and get her use to being touched.
 
If the chick came from a hatchery it is more likely to be flighty, breeder chicks usually are okay with being handled. My first Jersey Giant came from a hatchery that didn't sell Giants.. she was very frisky at first. But I took her to her first show (she did well amazingly, for a hatchery chick) and she became well socialized, with all the handling. I'm always glad to help Apyl!

I looked it up and the chick looks exactly like one. That's probably why it's flighty. It's true the chick isn't pure white, and it's got the off white color.

If she is, she'll develop the "splash" feathers as she grows. They'll come in as an odd blue or black feather here and there. Splash birds will sometimes have a slight bluish cast to their white too.
